Because we think we can make a small difference by being picky, the Wirecutter Deals team spends each day sorting through hundreds of discounts to find the few that are actually worth your time.

We only feature real discounts on great gear, from trustworthy stores with no hoops to jump through.

Our pick

At just over $16, this is a nice drop on our top coat rack pick in our guide to the best gear for small apartments. It’s rare to find the 5 hook version of this coat rack for under $20 shipped, so this is a solid deal on the white color of it, especially for Prime members.

The Liberty 129848 5 Hook Rail/Coat Rack is our coat rack pick in our guide to the best gear for small apartments. Our Wirecutter Staff wrote, “Everyone needs a convenient place to hang coats, hats, and other bits of outerwear. After researching the topic for five hours and investigating more than 15 coatracks, we recommend the Liberty 129848 Hook Rail/Coat Rack. The 27-inch-wide rack can be mounted to a wall or on the back of a standard-size door and can support up to 35 pounds. It’s one of only two models that come with three-point hooks, which maximize storage space and can minimize the wear and tear on clothing and gear.”

Our pick

At $400, this matches the lowest price we’ve seen for this monitor from Dell. The P2715Q is aging at this point and we’d love to see it drop lower as a result, but it has stubbornly refused to do so. The typical street price has been around $435 in recent months, so this is still a decent savings. We’ll continue to monitor it in the hope we see deeper discounts in the future.

The Dell P2715Q 4K monitor is our runner-up pick in our guide to the best 4K monitors. John Higgins and David Murphy wrote, “If the LG is sold out or too expensive, you don’t mind thicker bezels, or you need only DisplayPort to connect to your monitor, consider the Dell P2715Q. It’s a few years old—it was our previous pick—but it’s even more color-accurate than the LG, has a great stand and VESA support, and comes with a built-in USB 3.0 hub. It also has Dell’s legendary three-year pixel-perfect warranty. Its HDMI port can’t run a 4K monitor at 60 Hz, but its DisplayPort input can, so that’s not a dealbreaker for most people, nor are its fat bezels, compared with our other picks. It’s a better buy for most people than the newer Dell U2718Q, which is inaccurate enough that it’s not worth recommending right now.”

Our pick

At $265, this is a solid drop on our top outdoor binoculars pick. The Athlon Optics Midas ED usually run $300 and rarely see drops of note, this is the first drop of any significance we’ve seen for them in about a year. If you’re gearing up for outdoor adventures in the spring and are looking for an exceptional pair of binoculars, you can grab these for cheaper than usual today.

The Athlon Optics Midas ED Binoculars are our top pick in our guide to the best binoculars for birds, nature, and the outdoors. Daniel S. Cooper wrote, “The Athlon Optics Midas ED 8×42—along with nearly all of the other binoculars we tested—are the beneficiaries of a revolution in optical quality caused by the falling costs of precision manufacturing and optical treatments. For under $300 you can get a pair of binoculars that matches—that’s matches, not comes close to—products that cost hundreds, or even thousands, more. The Athlon Midas ED pair’s optics aren’t its only strong suit: These are exceptionally durable binoculars that easily withstood the humid, dusty, and hostile environment of the Mexican rain forest and harsh sun of the Californian desert. And their focus dial adjusts reliably and smoothly across a wide range of depths, making it easy to focus on what you’re trying to see, no matter where it is.”

Our pick

Use code SALE25 at checkout for 25% off colors of the L.L.Bean Winter Fleece Robe that are already on sale. The street price of this robe is $79 but Deep Red, Emerald Teal and Light Gray are on sale for $65. With the coupon code the price is down to a new low of $49 each plus $6 shipping. The coupon code expires Feb. 25 and sizes are already limited.

The L.L. Bean Winter Fleece Robe is our pick for the warmest robe in our guide to the best robes. Jackie Reeve wrote, “Of all the robes we tested, the L.L.Bean Winter Fleece Robe was the warmest. It was incredibly comfortable to wear while lounging and sitting at a desk, and even though it’s made of polyester it didn’t make us sweat, as can sometimes happen with synthetic fabrics. On a 5-foot-2 tester, this robe was ankle-length but didn’t cause tripping, and in our outdoor test, that length kept drafts away better than any other robe. We could’ve walked the dog in the snow wearing it. It has an inside tie to help keep it securely closed, and the pockets are just big enough for a phone or hands. This is not a stingy robe. The cut is roomy—there’s plenty of material to wrap up in, and the fabric flows, rather than clings like other styles we tried. Despite this, the sleeves don’t feel overly long. We especially love that this robe comes in the widest range of sizes of any of our picks, available in a petite extra-small to a women’s 3X.”

Apply code SALE25 in cart to knock the price of these boots down to $75, the lowest we’ve seen for them. While pricing in recent months has dropped from a high of $160 down to around $100, we hadn’t seen these too much lower than that price until recent weeks brought us a series of L.L. Bean 25% off sales. Grab these super-warm boots while they’re still available – sizes 6-9 (women’s) are still hanging around. This deal is scheduled to end on 2/25.

Our pick

At $26, while this isn’t the lowest price we’ve seen for the Tramontina 10-inch Professional Nonstick Fry Pan, it’s close. Usually $35, we saw a rare drop to $25 in October, but outside of that deal this is the best we’ve seen. As this pan already offers a lot of value for the money, it’s worth a look at this price.

The Tramontina 10-Inch Professional Nonstick Fry Pan is our top pick in our guide to the best nonstick pan. Lesley Stockton wrote, “The Tramontina 10-Inch Professional Nonstick Fry Pan distributed heat more evenly than other nonstick pans due to its thick cast-aluminum construction. The flared edge let us easily scrape the corners with a silicone spatula, flip fried eggs, and slide French omelets onto a plate. This pan’s light weight made it easy to maneuver, and we appreciated the comfortable handle with its removable silicone sheath for heat protection. With proper care, Tramontina’s nonstick coating will stay slick and scratch-free for at least three years.”

Use code SALE25 at checkout for a 25% discount on the sale colors of the L.L. Bean Snow Sneakers 3. Already discounted from $120 to $100, the coupon code will bring the final price per pair down to $75, which is a new low. The women’s Snow Sneakers in Black and Dark Cement/Deep Rosewood are on sale and the men’s in Brown, Hazelnut/Black and Storm Cloud are on sale. The available sizes are limited and this coupon code expires Feb 25. Shipping is free.

The L.L. Bean Snow Sneakers 3, Mid Lace-Up style, is the runner-up for hikers in our guide to the best winter boots for men and women. Lisa Maloney and Daniela Gorny wrote, “For anyone who prefers an outdoor women’s boot without any faux fur at all, or for winter hikers, we recommend the L.L.Bean Snow Sneakers 3 (women’s, men’s). This mid-cut boot really does feel like a sneaker on your feet, and it offers great traction on snow, decent traction on most ice, and excellent waterproofing. The insulation can protect you down to zero degrees as long as you stay active, but you’ll start feeling chilled if you stop moving.”

At $150, this matches the previous low we’ve seen for the Dell UltraSharp U2412M, our runner-up pick in our guide to the best 24-inch monitor. The street price of this monitor has fallen to around $220, but it’s still extremely well discounted and offers great value at this price. We’ve seen one such deal from Staples before and it didn’t last, so if you need a workhorse monitor, pick this one up while you can.

The Dell UltraSharp U2412M is our runner-up pick in our guide to the best 24-inch monitor. David Murphy wrote, “If the U2415 is unavailable, you should get our previous pick, Dell’s UltraSharp U2412M. This 24-inch IPS monitor has the same 1200p resolution as our pick—much better for work, gaming, and Web browsing than a 1080p monitor—and the same adjustability, warranty, and pixel-perfect guarantee. It’s doesn’t have HDMI (just DisplayPort, VGA, and DVI), and it has USB 2.0 instead of 3.0. It also isn’t factory-calibrated, and it’s usually only slightly cheaper than the U2415, but it’s better than any other 1920×1200 monitor if the U2415 is out of stock.”

If you’re in need of some of the fastest storage out there, this is a nice opportunity to save. The Samsung 960 Evo M.2 500 GB SSD is down to $200, around $30 off the recent street price and the lowest price we’ve seen for it. At this price, it’s well worth considering versus other storage options out there.

The Samsung 960 Evo M.2 SSD is our upgrade pick in our guide to the best SSDs. Andrew Cunningham, Ben Keough, and Nathan Edwards wrote, “If you have a legitimate need for faster storage, you should buy the PCIe Samsung 960 Evo, which can quadruple the read speeds of the fastest SATA drives and more than double the write speeds. It’s more expensive—$50 more than the 850 Evo for 500 GB and $110 more for 1 TB—and you’ll need a desktop or an M.2 PCIe-equipped laptop to use it. But the 960 Evo is a lot cheaper than our previous upgrade pick, the Samsung 960 Pro, while still delivering excellent performance. Just remember that the difference between a SATA SSD and a PCIe SSD isn’t as noticeable as the difference between a SATA SSD and a spinning hard drive.”

Our pick

The GIR Mini 11-inch Flip Spatula in black and red are both down to $12. This matches the lowest price we’ve seen for the red color and close to the lowest we’ve seen for the black too. The street price for this plastic spatula is $17 for all the colors so this is a nice discount.

The GIR Mini 11-inch Flip Spatula is top plastic pick in our guide to the best spatulas. Michael Sullivan and Ganda Suthivarakom wrote, “The GIR Mini 11-Inch Flip Spatula performs nearly as well as a fish spatula, but it won’t scratch the delicate surface of nonstick cookware. While it can’t beat metal for sharpness or dexterity, its tapered blade allowed us to scoot underneath warm cookies without breaking them. Don’t be deceived by this spatula’s smaller-than-average size; its sharply angled blade, paper-thin edge, and offset handle allowed our testers to flip fried eggs and pancakes with confidence. Since it’s made from a solid piece of silicone (available in many colors), there are no grooves that trap food, simplifying cleaning.”

This drop matches the previous low price we’ve seen for the Duck EZ Start Packaging Tape with One Handed Dispenser. The street price for this product is typically $6, but we’ve seen a lot of extreme price fluctuations recently, including a number of deals at $3. Occasionally this tape is only available at $3 as an add on item, but right now it ships at this low price for free with Amazon Prime. These deals tend only last a few days at a time.

The Duck EZ Start Packaging Tape with One Handed Dispenser is the packing tape pick in our guide to the best home office furniture and supplies. Kimber Streams wrote, “After researching 13 kinds of packing tape and testing five, we found that the best tape for shipping packages is the Duck EZ Start Packaging Tape with One Handed Dispenser. We taped more than 30 boxes to get a feel for the dispensers and taped weighted boxes to a wall for months to test the stickiness of each tape. The Duck EZ Start Packaging Tape was the second-stickiest, the second-sturdiest, and the least expensive tape we tested. Plus, it comes with a comfortable, intuitive dispenser and offers the most tape per roll of those we tested, which means you won’t have to replace the dispenser as often.”

Our pick

Update 3: The deal from last week expired, with the price now rising up to $56 with in-store pickup using code: BUYNOW63. We wouldn’t recommend picking up these sheets if the price goes any higher.

Although this isn’t the best deal we’ve seen for these sheets, the Royal Velvet 400tc WrinkleGuard Sheet Set (Queen size) is down to $56 from $90 with code 53DEALS and store pickup. This price matches previous deals we’ve posted and is still a great price. All sizes and colors are on sale but at least one color is already out of stock, so grab these while they last. If you don’t have a JCPenney near you, unfortunately these ship for an additional $9, knocking the price up to $65.

The Royal Velvet 400tc WrinkleGuard Sheet Set is the top pick in our guide to the best sheets if you prefer sateen sheets. Preethi Gopinath and Jackie Reeve wrote, “For those who sleep better with silkier sheets with a heavier drape, we recommend JCPenney’s sateen Royal Velvet 400tc WrinkleGuard Sheet Set. In our tests, these beat out sets that cost twice as much. As with our L.L.Bean pick in the percale category, the Royal Velvet sheets have won in our sateen category four years running (with four separate sets). They have a soft luster and are very durable. And though it’s hard to truly be wrinkle-free, this set comes pretty darn close. These exhibited barely any wear over the course of our testing. Also, these were one of the few sets we found that come in California king size.”

While we’ve seen a few color variants of the Joy-Con drop below $70, it’s usually only by a few dollars. This is a nice drop from the usual street price of $80 and is a fairly rare sale since these controllers are still pretty new. The gray version of these controllers are also available discounted to $67. These deals tend to expire pretty quickly, so pick them up while you can.

The Nintendo Joy-Con are the main controllers you’ll use for the Nintendo Switch, and will be one of our picks in our upcoming guide on Nintendo Switch accessories. These neon red and blue Joy-Con aren’t any different from the standard gray Joy-Con other than the color, but can be a nice way of adding a little splash of vibrancy and personality to your Switch. Compact, durable, and easy to use when attached to the Switch in handheld mode or when used wirelessly, the Joy-Con are going to be what you’re using in most situations.

Our pick

The Live Infinitely Inflatable Air Lounger in Vibrant Purple, Lime Green and Bright Blue are all down to $30. The street price for this inflatable couch is around $38 although sometimes it might be more or less depending on the individual color. $30 is a nice price for the Live Infinitely Inflatable Air Lounger although not the lowest we’ve see. Bright Pink is also down to a new low price of $25.

The Live Infinitely Inflatable Air Lounger is the top pick in our guide to the best inflatable couch. Nick Guy wrote, “The best inflatable lounger for most people is the Live Infinitely Inflatable Air Lounger. Though all the models we tested were pretty similar, this one has a few key advantages that make it the top pick. At 7 feet, it’s longer than the average lounger, meaning you have more space to spread out or share with friends. In fact, we found that you could easily fit three people next to one another on this couch. We also found it easy to fill the couch with air, compared with the other loungers, and the ripstop polyester definitely feels like it would stand up to some abuse. The lounger comes with a stake to hold it down, too, and there’s even a pocket on one side.”

Another great discount on our budget leather briefcase, dropping the price back down to $165, around $45 off of the street price. Make sure to use code: SALE25 in cart in order to take advantage of this sale. The promo code is only valid through the end of the day today.

The L.L. Bean Signature Leather Briefcase is our budget leather briefcase pick in our guide to our favorite briefcases. Tim Barribeau wrote, “If you’re interested in a fairly informal leather briefcase but are deterred by the $400 to $500 price tags on many designs, you might like the L.L.Bean Signature Leather Briefcase, a nice bag with soft leather available for much less. It gives you some of the cultural cachet of a leather bag but at a lower price…”

Our pick

If you’re willing to wait, this is a nice deal on our top air purifier pick in white. While we’ve been seeing the Coway Mighty under $180 more often over the past year, sales still tend to be brief with stock disappearing quickly. Amazon keeps the deal up, but lack of stock often pushes the expected delivery time back by up to a month or even more. This is one of those cases, with the white color of this air purifier showing availability in 1 to 2 months. We’ve noticed that Amazon will often get stock sooner than projected, so you could certainly get this earlier, but be prepared to wait the entire 2 months if you opt to pull the trigger.

The Coway AP-1512HH Mighty is our top pick in our guide to the best air purifier. John Holecek and Tim Heffernan wrote, “The Coway is HEPA-certified and rated to clean areas up to 350 square feet—the size of a large living room, and far bigger than the average bedroom. In terms of measured particle removal, the Coway is very nearly the best we’ve tested. On the moderate setting—the highest you’re likely to ever run it on for long periods—it purified better than all but two units in our 2016 lab test, reducing particle concentration to just 12 percent of the background level after 20 minutes when set on medium/sub-55-decibel. (Of the two machines that bested it, one, our runner-up Winix, only beat it by a statistically insignificant 2 percent; the other, the Blueair 503, showed seriously degraded performance when we re-tested it after a year of occasional use, and we no longer recommend it; see The competition.) In the 2017 lab test, the Coway again shone against the competition, reducing particulates to as little as 10 percent of the initial level.”

If you’re a PlayStation owner seeking a VR headset, we’ve never seen this low a price on a bundle of this kind, which includes the PSVR Headset, the PlayStation Camera, and a copy of Doom VFR for $250. While this deal, sold via the Newegg eBay storefront, doesn’t include the Move controllers, they can always be purchased separately. This bundle until recently cost as much as $400. There are a few PSVR bundles out there right now, including one that features the PSVR Headset, PlayStation Camera, Move Controllers, and Skyrim for $350, also a nice deal, but this one is just slightly superior in our eyes.

The Sony PlayStation VR is our PlayStation owner’s pick in our guide to the best VR headset. Signe Brewster wrote, “Sony’s PlayStation VR headset can’t track you quite as well as the competition can, but it’s good enough to provide a fun, solid virtual reality gaming experience. If you own a PlayStation 4 or 4 Pro (or would rather buy one than an expensive gaming PC), the PSVR’s currently $400 price tag makes it a competitive pick. There are plenty of games to choose from—including PSVR exclusives like Rez Infinite as well as games like EVE: Valkyrie that are available on Vive and Rift—its camera and controllers are PlayStation accessories you may already own, and it’s easy to get into if you’re already familiar with the PlayStation’s user interface. Two of my testers also chose it as the most comfortable headset (the other two picked the Rift).”

If you have a Hue setup you’re looking to add to, this is a great opportunity to do so. This single white 60W A19 smart bulb, usually $15, is $10 right now. These bulbs are perfect for adding to existing lamps with shades to give them smart functionality. As with all Hue bulbs, these require the Hue Hub to function as smart bulbs.

The Philips Hue White Smart A19 60W light bulb is a nice single white bulb addition to an existing Hue setup, our top pick in our guide to the best smart LED light bulbs. Grant Clauser wrote, “Hue costs a bit more than the average smart bulb, but wide compatibility with other products and systems, such as Apple’s HomeKit, Samsung’s SmartThings hub, Amazon’s Alexa (Echo/Dot), and Google Home, means you’ll be able to do more with them than with other bulbs; this makes them a more practical long-term investment.”

Use code AUKEY003 at checkout for a discount on all 3 colors of our budget wireless workout headphones. The coupon code brings the price of the Aukey Latitude EP-B40 down to $19 from their street price of $30. $17 is the lowest price we’ve seen for these headphones but $19 is still a good price, and this deal ends Feb. 25.

The Aukey Latitude EP-B40 is the budget pick in our guide to the best wireless workout headphones. Lauren Dragan wrote, “If you’re looking to spend as little as possible without buyer’s remorse, the Aukey Latitude EP-B40 is the way to go. Comfortable for most people, durable, and backed with a two-year warranty, the Latitude bests everything else in its price range. Why? These earbuds stay in place, they’re easy to use, and they sound decent. In our tests, so many other workout headphones under $50 were uncomfortable, poorly built, or marred by piercing high-frequency ranges that made turning the volume up past 40 percent literally painful.”

If you’re in the market for a 15-inch MacBook Pro and want the great screen and touch bar but aren’t frightened off by an older processor and GPU, this is a nice opportunity to pick up the late 2016 version of the 15-inch MacBook Pro at a discount. At $1900, this is a significant drop on it. While still a significant investment, for that cost you get a 2.6 GHz Intel Core i7 Quad-Core Processor, 512 GB SSD, and AMD Radeon Pro 450. If these specs sound like they might work for you, this laptop is worth a look at this price.

The late 2016 15-inch MacBook Pro is our former performance pick our MacBook guide, having been replaced by the mid-2017 version of the same computer (which features updated processors and GPU). MacbookDan Frakes wrote, “The 15-inch MacBook Pro also sports four Thunderbolt 3 ports, has the same keyboard and improved speaker system that debuted with the 2016 models, and offers an even larger—let’s just call it ginormous—Force Touch trackpad. Yet despite its 15-inch screen and aluminum body, the biggest MacBook Pro measures less than 14 inches wide, about 9.7 inches deep, and just over half an inch thick, and it weighs only 4 pounds.”

Our pick

The Eufy BodySense Smart Scale in the white color is down to $33 again. This matches the previous lowest price we’ve posted for this smart scale and is a very nice discount from it’s street price $50. So far only the white version, which we actually think most people will like better, has reached a low price of $33. Last time we saw this deal it only lasted a couple days so we doubt that this sale will last long either.

The Eufy BodySense Smart Scale is the top pick in our guide to the best smart scales. Shannon Palus and Melanie Pinola wrote, “If you want smart-scale features without spending a lot of money, the Eufy BodySense Smart Scale is easy to use and less than half the price of other smart scales we considered. We found the layout of the app easier to use than those of our other favorite smart scales, especially if you aren’t focused on losing weight. This scale can measure weights between 11 and 397 pounds and is accurate to four-tenths of a pound, and it comes with a 15-month warranty, which is on the longer side. The BodySense is also precise: I consistently got the same reading for my body weight several times in a row, even when I recalibrated the scale between readings.”

The GoPro Hero5 Black is back down to $290. This deal matches the previous lowest price we’ve posted and is a really good discount from it’s $400 street price however it has been hovering around $300 since November. Since the GoPro Hero 6 has been released, we’re likely to see this price more regularly.

The GoPro Hero5 Black is the top pick in our guide to the best action camera. Ben Keough wrote, “The GoPro Hero5 Black combines everything we loved about our previous pick, the GoPro Hero4 Silver (excellent video quality, intuitive touchscreen interface, affordable price), with the pro features that made the high-end Hero4 Black our upgrade pick (most notably, 4K video). Then it ups the ante with built-in waterproofing, image stabilization, and voice control, wrapping everything in a a small and convenient package. Best of all, it costs the same as the Hero4 Silver, despite all the new features. All of that adds up to the best action camera for most people.”

Our pick

Update 3: The $10 off on-page coupon is still in effect, but the base price has gone back up to $60, so the deal price is now $50 again.

If you’re in the market for a modem replacement and want to ditch rental fees, clip the $10-off coupon on-page to drop the price of this modem down to $50. We’ve seen it as low as $40 during Black Friday/Cyber Monday, but this is still a nice price for a modem that’s typically $60 or more. Grab it while you can as deals on this modem tend to end quickly.

The Netgear CM500 modem is our top pick in our guide to the best modem. Thorin Klosowski, Patrick Austin, and David Murphy wrote, “After researching nearly 100 cable modems over the past four years, we recommend the Netgear CM500 for most people. The CM500 offers reliable operation, supports the Internet speeds available to most Americans, and has positive reviews from owners. Just as important, it’s compatible with the most major cable Internet service providers in the US—including Comcast, Spectrum (formerly Time Warner, Charter, and Bright House), Cox, Suddenlink, Cable One, and WOW—which gives you the flexibility to switch providers if you move (or if you’re lucky enough to have multiple ISPs to choose from).”

Klosowski, Austin, and Murphy continue, “The CM500 works well for plans up to 300 megabits per second, because it’s a DOCSIS 3.0 modem that can handle 16 downstream channels and four upstream channels. (A channel is a connection to your ISP, like a lane on a road. The more channels you have, the easier it is to avoid congested traffic. While channel availability varies by region, 16×4 is the maximum you need for the most common current plans.) The CM500 has a good reputation for reliability, but it comes with only a one-year warranty, while most modems come with a two-year warranty.”

The Black and Midnight Blue colors of the Apple iPhone X Leather Case are both down to $40. This is the first time we’ve seen these colors drop this low and $40 is the lowest price we’ve seen for other colors of this leather phone case. The street price of the Apple iPhone X Leather Case is $49. This deal will probably only last a few days so if you’re interested in a leather case for your iPhone X and like either of these colors, now would be a good time to buy.

The Apple iPhone X Leather Case is a great leather option in our guide to the best iPhone X cases. Nick Guy wrote, “As with previous iPhone models, Apple’s iPhone X Leather Case is our favorite cowhide protector for the iPhone X. It offers enough coverage of the phone’s body to guard against most scuffs and minor drops, and it has an adequate lip protecting the screen, but it’s still thin and light. At the time of this writing, the Leather Case was available in nine colors, though Apple sometimes swaps new colors in and out during the iPhone’s life cycle. It sells for a high but not unreasonable price, and it looks and feels great.”

Update 2: Back up to $144, although some readers may see a $15 off on-page coupon.

At $144 for the Blue/Multicolor and Rust/Multicolor and $155 for the Ink/Multicolor in the 8′ by 10′ sizing, this is some of the better pricing we’ve seen for this area rug. We praise the Safavieh Hand-Woven rag rugs for their ability to be washed and their capacity to withstand stains without looking terrible, making them an ideal kitchen or dining room choice. Almost all colors of this rug have been over $160 and some over $170 since November, so while they’ve been cheaper before on occasion, this is one of the first opportunities in a while to save on them.

The Safavieh Hand-Woven 8′ by 10′ Rag Rug is our kitchen and dining room washable/inexpensive pick in our guide to the best area rugs under $300. Shannon Palus wrote, “Rag rugs rank among the best choices for a kitchen, because they’re machine washable and they look okay with a bit of wear and tear. We like Safavieh’s handwoven rag rugs, which cost less than most other rag rugs we’ve seen, feel comfortable to walk on, and come in a wide range of colors and sizes. The design, consisting of variegated yarns (or rags), means that most small stains will simply blend in. This rug is easy to flip over or toss in the wash—and if you really ruin it, it’s inexpensive to replace (it’s the least expensive of the kitchen options we looked at). Editor Christine Cyr Clisset has had the multicolor version of this rug for a year, and it’s holding up well—just a few of the yarns have pulled out slightly.”

Our pick

This is a great deal on these Puro BT2200’s, nearly matching the lowest price we’ve ever seen. While we saw them once for $70 during the holidays, we’ve only seen them in the $75 range a few times, so it’s still a great time to pick these up. Make sure to use code: PRESIDENTS25 in order to get the deal price.

The Puro BT2200 Kids Headphones are our top pick in our guide to the best kids headphones. Lauren Dragan and Brent Butterworth wrote, “The Puro BT2200 is our pick because not only do these headphones remain within safe listening levels when used properly, but they were also the top pick of all our kid panelists, which means your little ones will be more likely to use them. The Bluetooth wireless connection—done correctly here—means that the Puro pair will play at the correct levels, whatever source the child uses it with. The wireless design is also handy for avoiding tangles, a favorite feature of our big-kid panelists. The size and weight fit kids from 2½ to 11 years comfortably, so you can buy these headphones once and they’ll grow with your child, and they are sturdy enough that they should last a long time, too. In fact, we long-term tested these headphones with several kids, including on cross-country flights, and all of our test pairs are still doing just fine. While a lot of other kids headphones are made of breakable cheap plastic, the BT2200 has a well-constructed aluminum frame. Plus, the headphones come with a 30-day money-back guarantee and a one-year warranty.”

The Seachem Prime water conditioner is down to $9 as an add on item with Amazon Prime. This matches the previous lowest price we’ve posted and it’s a decent discount from the $12 street price. We saw this item fall to $8 before our guide was published but that’s a rare deal. If you’re in need of water conditioner for your fish tank this is a nice deal.

The Seachem Prime is the top water conditioner in our guide to the best fish tank, heater, light and accessories. Sabrina Imbler wrote, “When it comes to treating water so that it’s safe for your fish, Seachem Prime is the gold standard because it’s the most cost-effective dechlorinator you can buy. It’s the second most concentrated widely available dechlorinator, after Seachem’s saltwater-specific conditioner. Just one 16.9-ounce bottle treats 1,000 gallons of tap water, so you won’t need to buy another bottle for a long time.”

Down to $13 this is a good deal on our runner-up best umbrella. The lowest price we’ve seen for this umbrella is $12 but we’ve also posted a deal for $14. This umbrella is notorious for stock problems so if you’re looking for an umbrella at a good price don’t wait to pick this one up because there’s no telling how long this deal will last.

The AmazonBasics Automatic Travel Umbrella with Wind Vent is the runner-up in our guide to the best umbrella. Sarah J. Robbins and Tim Heffernan wrote, “The AmazonBasics Automatic Travel Umbrella with Wind Vent is available for less than the Repel, and its vented design and solid build shrugged off even the toughest gusts during our testing. However, in addition to coming only in black, it can be hard to get. AmazonBasics has assured us that it remains in its product line, but since we began our most recent round of research and testing in February 2017, it’s already gone in and out of stock twice (after being out of stock all winter). Each time, there’s been no online indication that it would be back.”

The Coway Replacement Filter Pack for AP1512HH is the replacement filter for our top air purifier and down to a price that matches the lowest price we’ve posted at $45. The street price of this replacement filter is $50 and we’ve only seen it fall to $45 one other time within the past year. If you own a Coway AP-1512HH Mighty and are in need of a replacement filter now would be a good time to grab one.

The Coway Replacement Filter Pack for AP1512HH is an accessory for our top pick in our guide to the best air purifier. Tim Heffernan and John Holecek wrote, “Simply put, it’s one of the highest-performing air purifiers we’ve tested. And it’s easily the most affordable. It not only outperforms purifiers that cost two and even three times as much upfront, but also costs far less to run and maintain for five years than any other purifier we’ve tested; you’re looking at about $600, including base price, replacement filters, and electricity. Finally, the Coway maintains its exceptional performance long-term: When we measured its performance using two-year-old filters—a year beyond their stated lifespan—it still cleaned the air almost like new.

Down to $66 from a street price of around $75 this is a good deal on the Cygolite Metro Pro 1100. At a price matching the lowest we’ve seen, you can purchase a cheaper option for $65 in the sidebar of the Amazon listing. The sidebar listing at $65 is back ordered until February 21 and fulfilled by Amazon Prime. If you need a powerful bike light right now $66 is a good price but if you’re able to wait a few days then go with $65 listing.

The Cygolite Metro Pro 1100 is the upgrade pick in our guide to the best commuter bike lights if you need a stronger headlight. Hannah Weinburger wrote, “For extra-dark roads, fast riders (e-bikes, anyone?), and even broad daylight, the Cygolite Metro Pro 1100 provides a significantly brighter and more eye-catching beam than our top pick. Most commuters will never need to use it at maximum strength, though, which (along with its higher price) keeps it from being our top pick—why pay for horsepower you’re not likely to use? But if you need a beam that keeps more of your route lit, opt for this model. It charges more quickly than other lights in its category, offers a durable body with ample side lighting, and has dropped in price to the point that we think it can be a worthwhile upgrade.”

Our pick

Use code GET25 to drop the price of our top slipper pick from just under $80 to as low as $49 if you’re willing to go with one of the less popular colors Even if you opt for the higher priced options, the code still drops them to $59. Both are great prices, as low as we’ve seen these slippers, and both the men’s version (pictured here) AND the women’s are available for the deal. Grab yours while they’re still available. This sale lasts through 2/20 but we often see stock dwindle/backordered items well before then during L.L.Bean sales.

The L.L. Bean Wicked Good Moccasins are our top pick in our guide to the best slippers. Alex Arpaia wrote, “The Wicked Good Moccasins (women’s, men’s) are made from real sheepskin shearling that feels more breathable and stays fluffier for longer than the same material on similar pairs. (One tester reported having a pair for four years with no signs of wear.) We like these moccasins because they provide good all-around coverage of the whole foot while still being easy to slip on and off without your hands. If moccasins aren’t your style, L.L.Bean carries a range of slipper types in the Wicked Good line. The moccasins come with a thick rubber outsole, so they’re fine for both indoor and outdoor use. Throw in L.L.Bean’s excellent customer service—something that our previous top pick was unable to live up to—and you’ve got yourself a pair of slippers that can’t be beat.”

Our pick

A nice deal and solid pick on our top microwave, the GE JES1656SRSS. The $25 drop in price is one of the better ones we’ve seen in a while, and this microwave is available for in-store pickup (depending on local availability) as well as eligible for free shipping.

The GE JES1656SRSS is our top pick in our guide to the best microwave. Tim Heffernan and Jessie Kissinger wrote, “The GE JES1656SRSS is our new pick for a countertop microwave. Like our previous pick, it can do a lot of basic, diverse, often-repeated jobs—like reheating a single bowl of soup or “baking” potatoes for a family of four—with the touch of one of its task-specific preset buttons. It also lets you manually set cooking times and power levels with the push of a button or two—basically, it nukes food as easily as flipping a switch—and being honest, that’s how most of us use microwaves. Moreover, it does these tasks well, many of them outright superbly, thanks to a combination of solid hardware and well-engineered software that delivers its ample power efficiently and effectively. But where this microwave—like all GE microwaves—sets itself apart is in its easy, intuitive operation. How intuitive? Wirecutter executive editor Mike Berk has used it happily for over a month, as a replacement for a Sharp, and has never looked at the manual. Neither have I, and I’ve owned and used a fancy-pants GE Profile microwave for nearly three years.”

While this isn’t the lowest price we’ve seen on this emergency weather radio, it’s a good one when you clip the on-page 10% coupon, matching the lowest price we’ve seen in the last 4 months. Over that period, the RunningSnail Solar Crank NOAA Weather Radio has had a typical street price of $33, so at $27, this is a solid savings. You never want to be in a position where you regret not having an emergency weather radio, so the opportunity to pick one up at a discount shouldn’t be overlooked.

The RunningSnail Solar Crank NOAA Weather Radio is our runner-up pick in our guide to the best emergency weather radio. Thom Dunn wrote, “The RunningSnail Solar Crank NOAA Weather Radio is a good, affordable alternative to the ER210 if you are willing to give up automatic weather alerts. It won’t beep or flash to let you know when weather is coming, but it still picks up signal from the NOAA weather band radio with great reception once you turn it on and tune it in. The lack of alerts makes it a poor choice for tornado-prone and flash-flood-prone areas, but it’s an otherwise capable radio—especially if earthquakes are your main concern, because they can’t be forecast. Otherwise, the RunningSnail is sturdily built and has excellent battery life with multiple charging options, including a reliable crank generator. The flashlight isn’t quite as strong as a Midland’s, but it does have an adjustable focus on the lens, and there’s a handy “reading lamp” underneath the pivotable solar panel. The lack of proactive alerts may be a dealbreaker depending on where you live, but it’s a decent alternative if the Midlands are unavailable.”

At $90 for the gray and the white colors of these earbuds, this matches the lows we’ve seen for those colors. We’re actually seeing the blue color only come in $10 cheaper via the Best Buy sale running through Monday, so if that’s your color preference, you know where to find them. $90 is the lowest we’d seen previously for BeatsX new, though we have seen refurbished models lower. These earbuds tend to go out of stock quickly when there’s a sale, so pick some up if you’re interested.

The BeatsX wireless headphones are our pick for Apple users in our guide to the best wireless earbuds. Lauren Dragan wrote, “If you need better call quality than sport headphones can provide, but don’t care for the bulky collar design of our other picks, the BeatsX is a great option—especially for iPhone users. The high price makes it a worse value compared with our other picks, but unlike our other picks’ stiff collars, the BeatsX’s flexible neckband can easily coil up into a pocketable package. In addition to being more portable, the BeatsX has a W1 Bluetooth chip (the same chip as in Apple’s AirPods), which makes pairing with Apple devices super-easy and also slightly improves switching between paired devices. The average battery life of eight hours should get you through most days, but these headphones don’t work while charging. However, Apple users will appreciate that they charge via Lightning cable—so you have one fewer cable type to bring while you’re traveling. The sound quality on the BeatsX is great, with the exception of a boosted and somewhat blurry bass frequency region. We usually like the fun of extra bass; it’s just that the BeatsX’s “thump” sounds a little more like a “thud.” It has some other downsides, too: The microphone quality, for starters, is about what you’d get from a corded set of earbuds, so your calls will sound okay, but this mic will pick up more background noise than our pick’s mic will.”

If you’re looking for an ironing board with more surface area for big projects, the Homz Durabilt Premium is a good choice. At $77, this is a new low. As this ironing board is usually priced around $90, this is a good discount for those that are serious about ironing.

The Homz Durabilt Premium Ironing Board is the runner-up pick our guide to the best ironing board. Jackie Reeve wrote, “For an oversized, sturdy board, we prefer the Homz Durabilt Premium Ironing Board. It’s just a hair less stable than the Brabantia B, but it’s taller and has a longer work surface—and is still rock-steady, which is impressive for its size. It sits solidly thanks to extra-wide legs, and it’s easy to open and close. But it also takes a lot of room to store and is best if you’re a dedicated crafter or you prefer a wide surface to iron your clothes. This board has come way down in price since we first tested it, but it’s still an investment.”

Our pick

At $815 after a $125 discount + a free pillow, this is a nice deal on our top foam mattress pick in the Queen size. The King size is down to $945. The Full size is $665. All are solid deals if you’re in the market for a new mattress.

The Leesa mattress is our top pick in our guide to the best foam mattress you can buy online. Kevin Purdy wrote, “The Leesa is our top pick among online-purchase mattresses because for side- and stomach-sleepers in our tests, it feels the best overall. It breathes better than all but one of the mattresses we tested, allowing for a cooler sleep. The Leesa also handles better at its edges than most other picks, providing acceptable support for entering, exiting, or rolling over on the bed. Consumer Reports’s simulated wear-and-tear testing (subscription required) found the Leesa to be excellent. It has a surface that feels good under thin sheets, and it looks good in gray and white stripes (or in other, limited-edition designs). For the price, it’s a real value that will appeal to many people buying a foam mattress online.”

Our pick

If you missed some of the sales over the last month, the Bose QuietComfort 25 wired noise-cancelling headphones are discounted again to $160, $10 higher than the low we’ve seen but still a nice deal. This drop is for the Apple-centric version (though they work fine for audio with Android devices with a 3.5mm jack or adapter as well, just lack some of the call controls). Pick these up while they last as previous deals have ranged in length from days to a few hours.

The Bose QuietComfort 25 wired headphones are our runner-up pick in our guide to the best noise-cancelling headphones. Geoffrey Morrison wrote, “The Bose QuietComfort 25 still—three years running—have the best overall noise cancelling in a wired headphone. If your goal is to drop as much outside noise as possible, these are the best option. Their sound is “fine,” not bad, just not compelling. No one will hate the sound, but no one will love it either. After being our pick for three years, we’ve moved them to the runner-up spot because we think more people would be better served with wireless headphones. If that’s not you, these are fantastic and a bit cheaper than the QC35s.”

Down to $300 this is a new low price for the Dyson V7 Motorhead cordless stick vacuum. Although most retailers will state the regular price of this stick vacuum to be $400 we believe the street price to actually be closer to $350. Shipping is free when buying this vacuum through ABT and the deal lasts through Feb. 22.

The Dyson V7 Motorhead is the top pick in our guide to the best cordless stick vacuum. Liam McCabe and Michelle Ma wrote, “The Dyson V7 Motorhead is the best cordless vacuum for most people because it’s as strong as they come, and is the quietest, smoothest, overall most-pleasant to use. In our testing, it proved to be the most thorough carpet cleaner and also worked well on bare floors. We also found that it was the quietest model for the price, with smooth handling and the easiest to empty dustbin. It converts into a handheld vacuum as well. The 28-minute run time is enough to clean up to 2,000 square feet in a single session, we’d estimate. That’s more than enough for most apartments and townhouses, and some single-family houses, too. Although models like the Shark IonFlex DuoClean and the Dyson V6 clean about as well as the V7, they’re also louder and harder to empty, with shorter battery life. If you just want a cordless vacuum for quick cleanups, this is overkill. But if you want one to take the place of a bulky plug-in, the V7 can do the job in most homes.”

Our pick

At $300 for a set of two, this is the best per unit pricing we’ve seen for the Nest Cam Outdoor outside of Black Friday/Cyber Monday sales. This 2-pack typically sees prices of $330 or more, so it’s a nice discount. Previous drops to this level haven’t stuck around more than a few days, so if you need 2 cams for outdoor security, jump on this deal while it lasts.

The Nest Cam Outdoor is our top pick in our guide to the best wireless outdoor security camera. Rachel Cericola wrote, “The Nest Cam Outdoor Wi-Fi camera does everything a DIY surveillance camera should, and tops the others we tested in convenience features. The camera provides 1080p video, two-way audio, and a mounting system that gives you the capability to point it in any direction. It also has the only weatherproof cord among the units we tested. However, the lack of a battery power supply will limit your placement options to areas within reach of an outlet or electrical cable, and Nest Aware’s 24/7 recordings may use up a lot of your Internet plan’s bandwidth.”

The Royal Anti-Fatigue Comfort Mat in the black color and 20″ x 39″ size is down to $29 with the 5% off on page coupon. The lowest price we’ve posted this mat at is $27 but we’ve also posted a previous deal at $32. The street price of this standing mat is $40. We aren’t sure how long the coupon will last so now would be a good time to grab this standing mat if you’re in the market.

The Royal Anti-Fatigue Comfort Mat is the budget pick in our guide to the best standing desk mats. Kevin Purdy wrote, “If you want to spend less because you stand infrequently or in shorter rotations, or you’re using a standing mat for other short tasks in the kitchen or laundry room, we recommend the Royal Anti-Fatigue Comfort Mat. Of the sub-$50 mats we tested, the Royal provides the most similar pressure-relieving, heel-supporting feel to the Imprint CumulusPro. Though the Royal’s narrow shape doesn’t provide as much standing depth as either of our other picks, it allows office chairs to roll deeper underneath a desk than most standing mats.”

Our pick

We saw this deal, which matches the lowest price we’ve seen on a 2-pack of the new smart speaker from Sonos, expire from Amazon on Monday (only to return today with only the option of 2 different colored speakers). Thankfully, it’s still available with matched pairs directly from Sonos. The One offers the same excellent sound quality as the Sonos Play:1 but adds smart speaker functions that allow you to control smart home devices through Alexa (with other support coming later this year). It’s a great option if you’ve already got some Sonos multiroom wireless speakers. The per unit price also matches the lowest price we’ve seen on an individual Sonos One smart speaker, so it’s unlikely we’ll see a lower price for a while.

The Sonos One is a smart speaker we like and go into great detail about in our Sonos One Review. Jon Chase wrote, “The Sonos One is a smart speaker that combines the multiroom audio capabilities and great sound quality of a Sonos Play:1 with the intuitive voice controls of Amazon’s Alexa. If that’s exactly what you’re looking for, we think it’s a great addition to any existing Sonos system—aside from a few kinks. But Sonos is promising a lot more than that. Right now, it’s limited to Alexa devices, but Sonos has promised to add support for Google Assistant and Apple’s AirPlay 2 in 2018. If it gets there it will offer all the functionality of the Amazon Echo, Google Home, and Apple HomePod in one device.”

At $40, this matches the low we’ve seen for the Logitech Performance Mouse MX. It’s hit this $40 price multiple times as the street price has continued to fall, but we’ve never seen it lower. It typically goes for around $55 now, so this is still a nice savings.

The Logitech Performance Mouse MX is our larger hands pick in our guide to the best wireless mouse. Justin Krajeski and Kimber Streams wrote, “For people with big hands, we recommend the Logitech Performance Mouse MX, which costs about $50. This was the most comfortable mouse for our largest-handed testers, who preferred the size and shape of the Performance Mouse MX over those of the MX Master 2S. The Performance Mouse MX tracked well on all our test surfaces, including glass and mirror. Although it connects only via USB dongle, and its software is outdated (though not necessary for normal use), it has nine programmable buttons, plus a scroll wheel toggle. Logitech claims its rechargeable battery will last roughly a month on a single charge, but our model, which is three-plus years old, makes it through about only nine full workdays.”

Our pick

Update: You can now use code ANKERUSB in cart to drop the price of this USB wall charger to $17. That’s as low as we’ve seen it.

The Anker PowerPort 4 in the white color is down to $20 from a street price of $26. We’ve posted this wall charger multiple times at $19 using coupon codes on Amazon but $20 is still a nice discount. Since this wall charger does get down to $19 so often we would recommend that you buy this at $20 only if you need it ASAP.

The Anker PowerPort 4 is the top pick in our guide to the best multiport USB wall charger. Nick Guy wrote, “Anker’s PowerPort 4 is the best multiport USB charger for most people. It’s the most powerful charger that plugs directly into a wall outlet—something a plurality of our survey respondents said they wanted—letting you fast-charge up to three full-size iPads at once or four at a slower rate. (Alternatively, you can fast-charge two iPads and two smartphones.) It’s also physically small next to the competition, and it’s quite affordable. Finally, Anker is a company that has quickly built a strong reputation in the mobile-accessory field: Anker’s charging accessories are well regarded not only by us, but also by customers on Amazon and by third-party reviewers.”

Our pick

Down to $10 for the teal color, this is a nice price for the GIR Silicone Spatula. This is the lowest price for any of the colors available right now and although it isn’t the lowest price we’ve ever seen it’s pretty close to it. The street price of the teal color is around $13 but the street price varies between the different colors. Fulfilled by Amazon Prime, shipping is free.

The GIR Silicone Spatula is our top silicone pick in our guide to the best spatulas. Michael Sullivan and Ganda Suthivarakom wrote, “Made from a single piece of silicone and available in several colors, the GIR Spatula has a small head that’s slim enough to fit into a small jar or measuring cup, with parallel sides that can scrape down the straight sides of a sauce pan. Though the tip is thick enough to give the spatula heft for pressing down doughs, the tool is flexible enough to glide smoothly and cleanly around the edges of a mixing bowl. Our testers liked the angled tip for getting around the bottom of sloped-sided cookware. The grippy, rounded handle feels better in the hand than many of the competitors’ flat, thin sticks.”

Back on sale at $80, this matches the lowest price we’ve seen on the Logitech MX Master 2S, our upgrade wireless mouse pick. The successor to the beloved MX Master mouse is great itself, though one thing usually not so great is the cost, typically around $95. This deal drops it significantly lower, and if you use a mouse all day every day, at this price it’s worth a look.

The Logitech MX Master 2S is our upgrade pick in our guide to the best wireless mouse. Justin Krajeski and Kimber Streams wrote, “If you use a mouse for hours every day, we recommend the Logitech MX Master 2S Wireless Mouse for about $100. It’s expensive, but its comfortable design, excellent thumb rest, and smooth tracking on every surface (even glass and mirror) make it a pleasure to use for long periods of time in most situations. The Master 2S can also pair with up to three Bluetooth devices simultaneously; and it has six buttons that can be customized using the Logitech Options software, a scroll wheel toggle, and a second programmable scroll wheel for your thumb. Plus, it has a rechargeable battery that Logitech says will last 70 days on a single charge, and our testing so far supports this claim.”

Update 7: This hydration pack continues to bounce between the $102 and $109.

The first deal we’ve caught on our upgrade pick, this deal comes in at $108, substantially below the $145 street price. While it seems to drop to this price every 3 months or so, we don’t expect to see it any cheaper based on the price history.

The CamelBak Fourteener 24 Hydration Pack is the upgrade pick in our guide to the best hydration pack for day hikers. James Meigs and Jennifer Stern wrote, “This pack easily lives up to its name; it’s plenty big and rugged enough for an all-day assault on one of Colorado’s famed 14,000-foot peaks. For men looking to carry multiple extra clothing layers, lunch, camera, and other odds and ends—in addition to plenty of water—the CamelBak Fourteener 24 hit the sweet spot in terms of capacity, useful features, and comfort. The pack’s 3-liter reservoir is one of the largest you can buy, and it’s easy to use. Our testers especially liked this pack’s semi-rigid back panel suspension system, which handled heavy loads with ease.”

The Joovy Groove Ultralight Umbrella Stroller in black is down to a new low price of $100. The price of the black color is typically lower than that of the other colors and the street price is around $140. This is the first deal we’ve posted on the Joovy Groove Ultralight, we haven’t seen a deal worth posting before this. It’s hard to say how long this deal will last so if you’re in need of an umbrella stroller and our upgrade pick caught your eye don’t wait to grab it at this low price.

The Joovy Groove Ultralight is the upgrade pick in our guide to the best umbrella stroller. Erica Pearson wrote, “The Joovy Groove Ultralight manages to pack nearly every convenience and feature possible into a truly excellent umbrella stroller that still weighs under 16 pounds. Some people may find it worth paying extra for the Groove Ultralight’s two standout features: Unlike the 3D Lite, it can stand up on its own when folded, and it has a well-placed peekaboo window that lets you check in on your tiny passenger without having to stop and walk around to the front. The Groove Ultralight offers lots of storage options, including two cup holders and mesh seat pockets, but its main storage basket holds just half the weight that our top pick can.”

We recommend to AmazonBasics AAA batteries because of their solid performance for the value they offer. Right now, they’re an even better value at $9 for a pack of 8, the lowest price we’ve seen for them. While this isn’t much less than they usually go for, it’s still notable in that it’s the first drop of any significance we’ve seen in a while – we aren’t likely to see them any lower.

The AmazonBasics AAA Rechargeable Batteries are our AAA pick in our guide to the best rechargeable batteries. Mark Smirniotis wrote, “If you need rechargeable AAA batteries, you should buy the AmazonBasics, or really just whatever reputable brand is the cheapest when you need them. We performed our standard bench tests on the leading AAA batteries, and even subjected them to advanced headlamp-and-watermelon tests, and still found no statistical difference in their initial capacity, their capacity after 50 cycles, or how they handled a common use like powering a headlamp.”

The KitchenAid 3.5 Cup Mini Food Processor in the contour silver color is back on sale for $30, matching the previous low price we’ve seen for it. This KitchenAid Mini Food Processor typically sits around $40 with previous deals posted at $36 and $32. If you’re in the market for a small food processor, pick one up as this likely won’t be around for long.

The KitchenAid 3.5 Cup Mini Food Processor is the budget, small portions pick in our guide to the best food processor. Christine Cyr Clisset and Michael Sullivan wrote, “For small chopping tasks, the affordably priced KitchenAid 3.5 Cup Mini Food Processor offers the best value and performance we’ve found in a mini chopper. It evenly chops a range of ingredients, including tough jumbo carrots. The Mini-Prep Plus makes a good addition to a full-size model (or a great alternative if you don’t want to spend $200). In our tests, it even performed better than the mini bowl attachments that come with some of the larger processors. Since it’s so compact and doesn’t come with any accessories, the KitchenAid 3.5 Cup Mini Processor is easy to clean. The Mini Food Processor will not make bread dough or shred cheese, but we think it’s best for completing basic tasks quickly.”

Our pick

While $3 isn’t a huge discount, it’s notable for a microSD card that rarely sees a discount in this size. Down to $20 from $23, the 64 GB Samsung Evo Select is seeing this price for the second time in a few weeks, which could signal more frequent drops. Unlike previous sales, it appears that all the other capacities are their typical street prices, so this is exclusively a drop on the 64 GB.

The 64GB Samsung Evo Select microSD Card is our top pick in our guide to the best microSD card. Justin Krajeski wrote, “The 64 GB Samsung Evo Select MB-ME64GA is the best microSD card for most people because it’s fast and cost-effective. The Samsung Evo Select had faster random speeds than most of the microSD cards we tested, making it ideal for expanded storage in phones or tablets. (The only two cards that outperformed the Evo Select cost significantly more.) The Evo Select also has quick sequential speeds for shooting video or transferring files.”

At $12 this is the lowest price we’ve seen on a Microplane that’s also great in our grater guide. The street price on this product is around $16 and we’ve posted a previous deal at $14. We saw the Microplane 38004 fall to $12 right at the end of November but the deal came and went so fast we missed out on posting it. If that’s any indication of how long this current deal will last then don’t wait to pick this up if you’re in need of a grater for small jobs.

The Microplane 38004 Professional Fine Spice Grater is also great in our guide for the best grater. Winnie Yang wrote, “If you simply want a tool for citrus zest, spices, ginger, and hard cheeses like Parmesan, get the Microplane Professional Series Fine Grater. The razor-sharp teeth take off just the right amount of zest, while the wide plane makes quick work of a block of hard cheese. Its heavy-duty, nearly all-metal construction makes it durable, and its slim shape fits easily into a drawer or utensil holder.”

Update 2: The price is up an extra $5 to $1242, but still a dollar below the original deal price.

At $1243, this is a good deal on our upgrade drone pick, the DJI Phantom 4 Pro. If you’re looking for better image quality (4K at 60 fps) from a drone, this is a nice option. Usually $1500, we’ve seen a number of drops in recent months, most to around $1400 but the most notable an eBay daily deal (sold via 6ave) that saw it about $40 cheaper than this. Even so, this is a nice discount and is shipped and sold via Amazon, offering some additional peace of mind. Pick this one up while it lasts, as drops for this drone haven’t lasted long.

The DJI Phantom 4 Pro is our pick for experienced photographers and videographers in our guide to the best drones. Mike Perlman wrote, “If our other picks are akin to flying GoPro Heros (that’s literally what the Karma is), the DJI Phantom 4 Pro is more like a flying Sony RX100. Its 1-inch sensor is nearly four times larger than the 1/2.3-inch sensors found in the Mavic Pro and Karma, and it can shoot 20-megapixel raw and JPEG still images as well as 4K 60-frames-per-second video. Its lens has a mechanical shutter, and manual controls abound, so experienced photographers can dial in their preferred settings. Relative to our top pick, it also has a more advanced collision-sensing system and longer battery life (a 25-minute average in PCMag tests), and it has a rugged magnesium-alloy chassis. Additionally, you get all the same intelligent flight modes as you do with the Mavic Pro, as well as Sport Mode (which enables a 45 mph top speed) and an interesting new mode called Draw (draw a line on the screen, and the drone will fly that route).”

At $550 in a few colors, this is a solid deal for the DJI Spark Fly More Combo, a bundle we particularly like because the controller is an excellent accessory addition. This drop is pretty universal across retailers, and while some still have it at $600, this could signal a new street price for this pint-sized drone. This is likely driven by the release of the Mavic Air, the new and promising addition to DJI’s drone line that runs a few hundred dollars more. If you’re not enamored with the Air or just have a hard cap on how much you can spend, this Spark bundle is well worth your attention.

The DJI Spark is our entry level pick for drone photography in our guide to the best drones. Mike Perlman wrote, “If all you want is something to capture aerial footage on occasion for personal use and social-media sharing, you can save several hundred dollars by getting the DJI Spark. Despite weighing half as much as the Mavic and folding up to about the size of your hand, it has all the important features you need from a video drone: 1080p video recording, image and flight stabilization, collision-avoidance technology, and an included controller, and smart-flight modes like ActiveTrack (tracks and follows a subject) and gesture controls all come standard. This combination of portability and user-friendly AI makes the Spark the perfect image- and video-capturing companion for beginners who care more about ease of use than advanced flying and imaging capabilities.”

The Bravado Designs Body Silk seamless nursing bra is on sale in most sizes and colors down to $39. Although this is a deal we see regularly it’s a nice discount from the $49 street price. This nursing bra is rarely on sale for more than a few days at a time so we don’t expect this deal to last long.

The Bravado Designs Body Silk is the runner-up seamless option in our guide to the best nursing bras. Ali Carr Troxell wrote, “The design of the Bravado Designs Body Silk is clean, its nylon-spandex fabric is stretchy yet supportive, and the bra comes in one of the widest color ranges we’ve seen. Most important, its sizing chart is accurate, unlike those of some other brands, making this bra easy to order online. But although we love the sporty V-neck shape, we think most people will feel more secure wearing the higher neckline of our main seamless pick. We also found that the Bravado’s sling strap offers far less support while nursing than our main pick’s more substantial triangle-shaped sling. Available in S to XL, accommodating 32B to 42F.”

At $22, this is $5 off the typical price of the Anker PowerPort Wireless 5 Stand. If you’re looking for a stand Qi charger that performed as well as our top picks, this is a solid option. It’s been $27 for as long as we’ve been tracking it, so it’s a nice bargain, so long as you’re fine using an existing AC wall adapter (as it doesn’t come with one).

The Anker PowerPort Wireless 5 Stand is our inexpensive Qi charging stand pick in our guide to the best Qi wireless charger for iPhone and Android phones. Nick Guy wrote, “If our picks are out of stock, if you want to spend a little less, or if you prefer something with a less obvious status light, Anker’s PowerPort Wireless 5 Pad and PowerPort Wireless 5 Stand are great options, though you’ll have to provide your own AC adapter. In our tests they charged iPhones at the same rate as our Samsung picks and charged the Galaxy S8 as fast or faster, but they’re generally a few dollars less expensive. Both come with Micro-USB cables, but neither comes with an AC wall adapter, so you’ll need to use the charger that comes with your phone or tablet or buy one separately. Light-sensitive sleepers will appreciate the small blue charging-indicator lights, which you can easily cover.”

Our pick

The Smartwool Women’s PhD Ski Light socks in the Woodrose Pattern and Deep Navy Pattern are down to a new low price of $19 from Moosejaw. The Black Pattern is down to $18 although as of this post they only have size medium still available. The street price for these ski socks is $25. Free shipping is available from Moosejaw for orders over $35 and 2 pairs of socks will reach the free shipping minimum.

The Smartwool Women’s PhD Ski Light is the top pick for women in our guide to the best ski socks. Colin Rosemont wrote, “The Smartwool PhD Ski Light sock, which comes in both men’s and women’s models, is the most versatile sock for people who want to ski in everything but extremely cold conditions. It offers the best mix of fit and comfort compared with the other socks we tested because of its superior foot support and key mesh ventilation zones, which improve breathability. On top of that, the sock is made with merino wool, which wicks moisture away from your feet and helps to regulate your body heat in a variety of conditions.”

The Wacom Intuos Pro Regular in the medium size is down to a very good price of $300 from $350. We very briefly saw this drawing tablet fall to an all time low of $297 in October and November of 2017 but those deals are rare and short lived. The previous time we saw the Wacom Intuos Pro Regular down to $300 it stayed there for almost a month, so we think you’ll have a little time to consider this upgrade before purchasing. For more money you can also purchase the paper edition or pro bundle, which are both down prices that match the lowest we’ve seen.

The Wacom Intuos Pro is the upgrade pick in our guide to the best drawing tablets for beginners. Melanie Pinola wrote, “If you’re a professional artist or graphics designer, or if you’re ready to upgrade from your first drawing tablet, the Wacom Intuos Pro is the way to go. The Intuos Pro has superior build quality and the most precision and accuracy of all the tablets we tested, and it’s available in medium and large sizes. It has multitouch, tilt recognition, Bluetooth, eight tablet keys, and a nifty touch wheel. But it’s much more expensive—starting at around $350—so we don’t recommend it for artists just starting out.”

Our pick

If you’re looking to get the most Bluetooth trackers for your money, this deal on a 4-pack of Tile Mates is a nice option. At $50 for 4, you’re getting a discount of $7 each vs. buying one individually. This is the low price we’ve seen per tracker on Tile Mates, beating the previous 4-pack price of $55, so grab a pack while you can.

The Tile Mate is our runner-up pick in our guide to the best Bluetooth tracker. Nick Guy wrote, “The Tile Mate is a good choice if you’re looking to spend a little less money. Its Bluetooth range is shorter than that of the Sport and Style, and its alarm isn’t as loud. But for finding your keys around the house, it will do just fine for most people, and it’s still better than the trackers from any other company.”

Our pick

If you’re in the market for a new toiletry bag and have an REI near you, this is a nice opportunity to get one at a discount. The Eagle Creek Pack-It Specter Wallaby in the small size is available in Flame Orange for $27, a nice savings from the usual price of $39. This toiletry kit has been around for some time and is being discontinued, making it hard to find affordably at many retailers, so this is your chance to grab one while they last. Choose the ship to store option or make a purchase over $50 to avoid an additional $6 shipping charge.

The Eagle Creek Pack-It Specter Wallaby Small is our top pick in our guide to the best toiletry bags. Meghan Miner Murray wrote, “The Eagle Creek Pack-It Specter Wallaby Small organizes a week’s worth of travel-size toiletries into a compact, carry-on-friendly package that weighs only 4 ounces when empty. Its 4-liter capacity, split across three zippered compartments, makes it the largest carry-on-friendly toiletry bag in our test group, and leaves room to accommodate extra makeup or an electric shaver. And its ripstop, siliconized nylon body gave it great leak resistance in our soap-spill test.”

Update 5: After a downward trend from $77 to $75, then $72, then $70, then down to $65, it has now started to rise in price at $68.

The Samsung Gear 360 (2016 version), while aging and no longer one of our picks, is a very affordable way to get into 360 photography and video. Right now it’s $77, within a few cents of the lowest price we’ve seen for it. At this price, you’re getting a lot of value despite the age of this cam.

The Samsung Gear 360 (2016) is a former pick (since replaced by the Gear 360 2017) for Samsung phone users in our guide to the best 360-degree camera. At that time, of the 2016 Gear 360, Jeff Carlson wrote, “it works with only a handful of recent Samsung phones. The Gear 360 offers better image resolution than the Ricoh Theta S in a compact two-lens design that lets you change settings and shooting modes directly without a connected smartphone. A removable battery and memory mean you can swap in spares as needed, and the included tripod/handgrip is useful and well-designed.”

At $77, while we’d like to see it a few bucks cheaper, this is a good discount on our new upgrade humidifier. The Levoit LV600HH often sits at $90 during the winter months (when it’s most sought after) with periodic drops to as low as $74 and even a flash sale that took it lower late last year. Even so, you’re getting a nice deal versus the typical price and as this is only a few bucks higher than the typical low, if you need it it’s a good time to pull the trigger.

The Levoit LV600HH is our upgrade large spaces pick in our guide to the best humidifier. John Holecek and Tim Heffernan wrote, “The Levoit LV600HH Hybrid Ultrasonic Humidifier is our new pick for large spaces and exceptionally dry, demanding environments, replacing the SPT SU-4010. Its powerful ultrasonic mechanism provides continuous humidification (evaporative humidifiers slow down as the air gets more saturated), and its big, 6-liter/1.5-gallon tank can go more than 24 hours between refills. It’s exceptionally quiet, though like all ultrasonic models it makes an audible hum that can be annoying if you’re sitting or sleeping within a few feet of it. Also like all ultrasonic humidifiers, it has a couple of potential downsides: It has to sit on a table or shelf so that the mist won’t puddle on the floor, and it can create a layer of white mineral dust on nearby surfaces.”

For those with an existing compatible wall charger or those willing to buy one, this is a nice value on this USB-C battery pack when you use promo code KINPB058 in cart. That code knocks the price of the RAVPower USB-C PowerBank down to $54, within $2 of the lowest price we’ve seen for it, and makes it a comparable value to our top pick, the Anker PowerCore+ 26800 PD, which rarely sees prices under $85 even on sale and is presently going for $120. USB-C PD battery packs can charge a USB-C laptop, which is why they have an added price premium, but $54 (if you go in knowing about the lack of included wall charger, read more below) is a good deal on this battery pack.

The RAVpower USB-C PowerBank 26800 PD is an option we like in our guide to the best USB-C battery packs and power banks. Mark Smirniotis wrote, “In our tests the RAVPower 26800 PD Portable Charger performed almost identically to our top pick from Anker in terms of ports, outputs, and capacity. Though it’s about $20 cheaper currently, that’s because it doesn’t include a high-speed charger like Anker’s PD wall charger—you must provide your own charger. If you recharge the RAVPower pack from a slower wall charger you already own, it will take two or three times as long as using RAVPower’s optional Quick Charge 3.0 charger, at least eight hours. (Though the RAVPower pack’s USB-C port can recharge it over PD if you buy a compatible wall charger from another company, RAVPower offers only QC 3.0 wall chargers.) This RAVPower battery is the only one that also has a Micro-USB input port. But if you want a USB-C power bank and make the shift to the newer ports and cables, this option is unlikely to be all that convenient, so we didn’t consider it to be a major benefit. Once the wall chargers are as comparable as the battery packs themselves are, we’d likely consider the competition between the RAVPower pack and the Anker pack to be a toss-up, with price being the deciding factor.”

Our pick

At $27, this is a nice deal on our top medical alert system pick, the GreatCall Lively Mobile, especially if you opt for store pickup. This alert system sells for $40 via GreatCall themselves and for $36 on Amazon, so even if you can’t pick it up and must opt for the $6 shipping, you can still save a few bucks.

The GreatCall Lively Mobile is our top pick in our guide to the best medical alert systems. Shannon Palus wrote, “The water-resistant GreatCall Lively Mobile can dial a call center or 911 directly (the ability to do both is a rare feature) from anywhere, and it’s easier to wear than the competition: It can go on a lanyard (with a magnetic clasp) that’s long enough to slide over your head, or on a belt clip. The silver box and plain white indicator light are more understated than the competition, and GreatCall offers the lowest-cost month-to-month plan of anything we looked at. The battery lasts 24 hours, according to GreatCall, though we found it could go up to 50 hours with minimal use. The advertised battery life is on the low end of the models we tested, but our experts recommended getting in the habit of charging your medical alert every day anyway. The GreatCall Lively Mobile works anywhere there’s Verizon cell service, which we’ve found to be the most reliable network.”

The Boosted Dual+ Electric Skateboard is significantly discounted at $1200, $300 off the $1500 price. This is the lowest we’ve seen it to this point, and if you’re serious about getting an electric skateboard, this is the one to go with. Previous deals have been brief, so pick this up while this one lasts.

The Boosted Dual+ is our upgrade pick on our guide to the best electric skateboard. Jack Smith wrote, “The Boosted Dual+ is ubiquitous in the world of electric skateboards. In fact, the only reason it’s not our top pick is that we don’t think most people have any business spending so much money on an electric skateboard. But with a 2,000-watt motor, a 22 mph max speed, the ability to climb hills with a 25 percent grade, and a 7-mile range, it’s one of the few boards that are powerful enough to carry you over any sort of commuting distance (though we have some thoughts on why these boards aren’t your best bet for commuting below). It also has a better remote than any of its competitors, featuring a useful kill switch and large roll wheel that makes minute speed adjustments a cinch. And it comes from a reputable company, which is important if you’re an early adopter of rapidly changing and expensive technology like electric skateboards. Dealing with a company that will respond to your customer service needs when something is on the fritz is vital.”

Our pick

The 24 count pack of Prismacolor Scholar Colored Pencils is down to $7 as an add-on item for Amazon Prime members. The lowest price we’ve seen for this set of pencils is $6 but down to $7 is still a good deal compared to it’s street price of around $12. At $7 for 24 this brings the price per pencil down to about 30¢ each. If you want to save some money on our budget colored pencils now would be a good time to buy.

The Prismacolor Scholar Colored Pencils are the budget pick in our guide to the best colored pencils. Laura Fenton wrote, “The 24-count Prismacolor Scholar Colored Pencils set offers good quality at a great price. When we compared this set against the Premier set, the Scholar pencils were almost as good as their artist-grade counterparts, but the lead was firmer and didn’t lay down as smoothly. This set comes in a less comprehensive color range, and the plastic packaging is less durable than the Premier set’s metal case. The pencils in the Scholar set come out to about 41¢ per pencil, so they’re only negligibly cheaper than the Premier pencils (47¢ per pencil). But if you want to invest in a bigger set—say, for a kid who wants a lot of colors—those cents can add up, and the Scholar pencils may be the way to go.”

Our pick

If you’re in the market for a pair of great hiking boots, you know that the best ones rarely come cheap. The Salomon Quest 4D 2 GTX Women’s Hiking Boots are usually over $200, but are presently available for a discounted price of $180. Selected sizes are available in the Deep Blue color, so if you like what you see, pick up a pair as they likely won’t last.

The Salomon Quest 4D 2 GTX Hiking Boots are our top pick for women (and men) in our guide to the best hiking boots. Ebony Roberts wrote, “The Salomon Quest 4D 2 GTX boot (which comes in men’s and women’s models) might look too rugged for a day hike, but we found that these boots were the best of any we tested for both backpacking and day hiking on any terrain. They’re lighter than most of the other boots in our test group, but they still offer all the essential features you’ll need, including ample toe and heel protection, a gusseted tongue, a wide toe box, and a well-thought-out lacing system. The Quest 4D 2 GTX design is also breathable and waterproof.”

With winter still going strong in many parts of the country, if you’re a distance runner or are just looking for winter tights with more features, the North Face Women’s Winter Warm tights are a nice option. Usually around $85, they’re down to $59 in black or gray.

The North Face Winter Warm Tights are our long-distance runners pick for women in our guide to the best winter running tights. Tyler Wells Lynch wrote, “If you’re a distance runner, or if you’re simply looking for more space to store personal items on runs, we also recommend The North Face Women’s Winter Warm Tights. The design includes two pockets—a zippered front pocket and a smaller key pouch in the rear. Like the men’s version of these tights, this pair is made from a nylon/polyester blend, which delivers the best of both worlds in terms of odor retention, breathability, and long-term reliability. This pair also comes in a few color options, making for a slightly more stylish choice, if you’re into that.”

Our pick

At $40 before shipping, this is a great price on our top pick in our guide to the sleeping bags we like for kids. Usually $60, this bag is a particularly good deal if you have an REI near you for store pickup or you spend over $50 to get free shipping. If not, there’s a $6 shipping charge, which diminishes the discount to some degree. While we’ve seen this deal on and off since Black Friday/Cyber Monday week, there’s no telling when it will end.

The REI Kindercone Kids Sleeping Bag is our top pick in our guide to the sleeping bags we like for kids. Kalee Thompson wrote, “The REI Kindercone is warm enough for most three-season camping trips; plush enough for the hard floor of the school gym; and tough enough that parents need not fret if it occasionally morphs into the wall of a fort or the vehicle for sliding down stairs. Our testers liked the bag’s built-in stuff sack, and the fact that it comes in more colors than any similar bag we found.”

At $400, this is the lowest price we’ve seen for the InFocus ScreenPlay SP1080 in over a year. While we saw some great pricing around Black Friday of 2016, we didn’t note similar drops this year as this projector, for whatever reason, has largely hovered around $500. Discounted to $400, at $100 cheaper, it’s a good value when compared to the pricing we’re seeing for our top pick in the category, the BenQ TH670, and our other recommendation, the even more expensive BenQ HT2050.

The InFocus ScreenPlay SP1080 Projector is our runner-up pick in our guide to the best cheap projector. Chris Heinonen wrote, “If the TH670 isn’t available and you don’t want to spend the extra money on BenQ’s HT2050 or HT1075, the InFocus ScreenPlay SP1080 is your next best option. In our tests, this model came in second to the BenQ TH670 in color accuracy and contrast ratio. Unlike the TH670, it offers no way to disable BrilliantColor. It also provides only a single HDMI input, and it lacks a standard USB Type-A port to power a streaming stick.”

Our pick

At $70, this is a great price for the AncestryDNA ancestry test, the top pick in our DNA ancestry test guide. This service states a suggested full price of $100, but has $80 promotions so often that’s a more realistic street price for it. The $70 price is rarer, matching the low we saw during Black Friday/Cyber Monday, so grab it while it lasts.

The AncestryDNA DNA Ancestry Test is our top pick in our guide to the best DNA ancestry test. Amadou Diallo wrote, “AncestryDNA is our pick for those who want to learn about their relatively recent ethnic roots or are seeking to connect with unknown relatives. Though all of the DNA services we tested provided broadly similar results for the ethnic origins of our panel of testers, AncestryDNA did a better job than its rivals of presenting this data in a clear manner while placing the information in a useful historical context. And for those seeking distant cousins or even biological parents, the company’s claimed DNA database of 5 million customers—two and a half times larger than its closest competitor—increases the odds of successful family matches. Unlike the other services we tested, however, AncestryDNA cannot track your maternal and paternal heritage independently or trace your ancient migration path out of Africa, so although its clarity makes it a superior choice for most people’s needs, it may not satisfy more dedicated amateur genealogists.”

Our recommended handheld mixer, the Cuisinart Power Advantage Plus 9-Speed Handheld Mixer, is down $60, matching the previous lowest price we’ve posted. The street price of this mixer is $70 but we’ve seen it as high as $80 within the past year. This product experiences a lot of price fluctuations but the previous deal we posted lasted a couple weeks so this one might also.

The Cuisinart Power Advantage Plus 9-Speed Handheld Mixer is the runner-up in our guide to the best stand mixer if a stand mixer is too much for you. Lesley Stockton wrote, “For occasional baking, or if you have a tiny kitchen, get the Cuisinart Power Advantage Plus 9-Speed Handheld Mixer. This model won’t compete with a stand mixer in speed or strength, but it is the most effective hand mixer we’ve found, and it does a more than adequate job of blending doughs, frostings, and lofty cakes. We also like its compact storage case, which keeps all of the attachments securely housed with the machine (no groping in a drawer for that extra beater!).”

The Pentel Sharp Kerry 0.5 mm mechanical pencil in black is back down to $8 although this time as an add-on item for Prime members. $8 matches the previous lowest price we’ve seen for this pen but we’ve also posted a deal at $9. The street price for this capped mechanical pencil is around $12. The previous $8 deal we posted didn’t last very long so we don’t expect this one to last long either. If you prefer a mechanical pencil that looks like a pen then don’t wait to pick this up.

The Pentel Sharp Kerry is a runner-up in our guide to the best mechanical pencils. Tim Barribeau wrote, “For a slightly more refined look, the Pentel Sharp Kerry is still approachably priced at $12 and takes its design cues from high-quality pens. Its capped design means that it won’t poke your pockets, and it’s able to click to advance the lead regardless if the cap is in place. This is also a great pick for left-handed people because it has a super-solid and precise tip that is good at accommodating all kinds of writing positions, including the push grip.”

Our pick

Update 2: Now down to $17. The Patagonia Active Hipster is also available at $17 via Backcountry, but you’ll need to get 3 pairs (vs. the 2 you’d need to get with Moosejaw) to secure free shipping. Depending on your needs, it could be a slightly better deal.

Down to $18 from $24, this is a good discount on the Patagonia Active Hipster for women. Moosejaw still has a lot of colors and styles in stock but that might not be true for long. Shipping is free for orders over $35, and if you purchase 2 pairs that meets the minimum for free shipping.

The Patagonia Active Hipster is the top pick in our guide to the best men’s and women’s underwear for travel. Liz Thomas wrote, “The Patagonia Active Hipster doesn’t appear special upon first glance. Only after trying everything else and living through their failures to stay put did we remember what “special” really means in a pair of underwear: Feeling as if you’re wearing nothing at all. The Patagonias have the best fit, comfort, and style out of all the panties we tested. The nylon material is fast-wicking and better than most synthetics for odor-proofing, making it well suited for athletic activities. The Active Hipster is lightweight and packable, and is the fastest-drying underwear we tested—making it perfect for minimalist travelers who go weeks at a time with just one or two pairs. But these same characteristics make these panties great for any traveler looking for something comfortable and packable, regardless of where you’re going or what you’re doing.”

If you’re in the market for a replacement Kong pet toy or a second one to keep in the car for keeping your pet entertained while on the go, the Kong Classic is discounted as an add-on item right now. The large size is around $6, and the small and medium sizes are just over $4. Bear in mind that as add-on items, these will need to be bought as part of a qualifying $25 purchase, but as long as you’re shopping anyway, keep your furry friend in mind.

The Kong Classic is our travel toy pick in our guide to the best gear for driving with pets. Kristen Hall-Geisler wrote, “KONG’s classic rubber toys can keep a pet entertained, engaged, and quiet in the car or in a hotel room. All you have to do is put food that your dog or cat likes inside the toy and hand it over. Guide Dogs for the Blind recommends a stuffed KONG for keeping a dog busy in a crate. No parts to pull off and swallow, no fluffy stuffing to inhale—and they’re virtually indestructible. And if you leave your KONG behind in the hotel room, or if it rolls out of the car at a rest stop, you can easily find a replacement at any pet store, large or small.”

If you’re in the market for a premium, stylish Macbook sleeve, the Picaso Lab Classic Sleeve is a nice option. Pricing starts at $70 (for the 11″ MacBook Air) and goes up from there. Right now, if you apply discount code KINJA015, you can get a 15% discount. For instance, for a MacBook Pro 13″ (2017), the typical price of $96 is lowered to $82. Engraving, if you choose to opt for it, will add an additional $8 to whatever option you choose but also adds a nice level of personalization and style. This is a great gift for yourself or the MacBook owner in your life.

The Picaso Lab Classic Sleeve is one of our premium picks in our guide to the best laptop and MacBook sleeves and cases. Nick Guy wrote, “Making recommendations for premium items can be difficult because, by definition, they’re not tied to budgetary restrictions—someone looking for a high-end sleeve or case is going to spend whatever it takes to get the style they like. That said, we think Picaso Lab’s Classic Sleeve, a handmade leather cover, is a good starting point if you’re considering a premium protector. We also think it’s a great value for a full-leather protector, as comparable models often cost more than $100.”

The Sony ECM-GZ1M microphone is down to $57 from a street price of $70. Right before our guide was published we saw this microphone at the same low price for almost the whole month of December but the price jumped back up since then. This is the lowest price we’ve seen for this microphone but we aren’t sure how long this deal will last.

The Sony ECM-GZ1M is recommended in our guide to the best vlogging cameras and gear if you want to step up your audio game for any Sony camera. Phil Ryan wrote, “If you want to step up the audio quality of your vlogs, get the Sony ECM-GZ1M. It plugs into any Sony camera with a Multi Interface Shoe and makes your voice louder and clearer in the audio mix than the ambient noise where you’re shooting. Despite being small, the affordable Sony mic provides comparable recording quality to larger and costlier prosumer-style Rode microphones.”

The Dyson V7 Car+Boat is down to a new low price of $200. The previous lowest price we’ve posted for this handheld vacuum was $205 and the street price is $240. Deals on this super strong handheld vacuum don’t last long so we would suggest picking it up soon if you’re in the market. 1-day shipping is free with Amazon Prime.

The Dyson V7 Car+Boat is the upgrade pick in our guide to the best handheld vacuum. Liam McCabe and Michelle Ma wrote, “Dyson handhelds are much stronger cleaners than any other models we’ve tested, including our main pick. A bunch of variants are available, but we think the V7 Car+Boat has the best feature set, including a 30-minute battery life, a mini motorized brush tool for cleaning upholstery (such as cloth car seats), a flexible extension hose like our main pick has for reaching awkward spots, and a car charger. This model is a very expensive vacuum, and probably overkill for most people. But apart from other, also-expensive Dyson models, no other handheld vacuums come close to its cleaning power.”

Our pick

At $250, this is a solid price on our former top Thunderbolt 3 dock pick. The street price of this dock with this length of cable has been over $300, and while we anticipate that continuing to fall (a plus version of this dock with USB-C connectivity has been released) this is still a good option for those with MacBooks that require 85-watt charging. Cable length impacts pricing to a great degree, so you can save more by opting for a shorter cable, but this length provides placement flexibility that shorter cable lengths don’t.

The CalDigit TS3 (w/ 2-meter cable) is our former top pick in our guide to the best Thunderbolt 3 and 2 docks. Nick Guy wrote, “CalDigit’s TS3 is a great option—it’s a previous former top pick. It has three USB-A ports and an otherwise standard collection of inputs, and a small body. But it’s more expensive than our pick and has fewer ports. Choose this one mainly if 85-watt charging—say, for a 15-inch MacBook Pro—is important to you, otherwise, stick with the Plugable.”

Presently available for $48 in all sizes of the Black/Black/Icey Blue colorway, this is a solid drop on the Adidas Kanadia 8.1 trail running shoes for women. These shoes retail for $80 and typically cost well over $50. If you’re an avid trail runner but don’t have a ton to spend, these shoes are a nice option.

The Adidas Kanadia 8.1 is our budget pick for women in our guide to the best trail running shoes. Bob Howells wrote, “This shoe costs well under $100 yet delivers most of the characteristics of expensive trail running models. The men’s and women’s Adidas Kanadia 8.1 shoes offer good traction, supportive uppers, and pleasant rides. Most entry-level and occasional trail runners should be able to overlook the shoe’s drawbacks, such as an extra-warm upper, given the attractive price.”

Our pick

At $77 in two colors and $83 in another, this is a nice sale on our top pick in our recently released guide to the best lightweight windbreaker. The Alloy/Bolt colorway is at the deal price in the medium and large sizes, while the brighter Bolt colorway is available at the same deal price in medium, large, and extra large. The Baltic blue colorway, a previous season color, is available in all sizes for $83. Shipping is free.

The Outdoor Research Men’s Tantrum Hooded Jacket is our top pick in our guide to the best lightweight windbreaker. Jenni Gritters wrote, “After spending dozens of miles hiking, cycling, and running, we think the Outdoor Research Tantrum Hooded Jacket for both men and women is the best lightweight windbreaker for most people. The Tantrum weighs next to nothing, packs down easily, fits true to size, and offers a variety of useful features like well-placed pockets and a hood that stays on in high winds. It’s also solidly windproof while remaining breathable, and it wicks water well and dries fast. Plus, Outdoor Research’s “infinite guarantee” is the best warranty we found in the wind jacket game: The company will take anything back at any time, no questions asked.”

The Patagonia Women’s Down Sweater Vest in the color Elwha Ikat Small/Strait Blue is down to a new low price of $127. The Buffalo Green, Elwha Blue, Magenta, and Feather Grey are also on sale down to $134. $134 is a good deal from it’s street price of $179 but $127 is an especially good deal if you like that color. Shipping is free from Moosejaw on orders over $35.

The Patagonia Women’s Down Sweater Vest for women is a runner-up in our guide to the best insulated vest. Liz Thomas wrote, “The Patagonia Women’s Down Sweater Vest is a fitted, refined vest that’s been an outdoor classic for years. It’s a stylish casual vest for around town that also doubles for light hiking, car camping, and skiing (as long as the down doesn’t get wet). Down is warmer than synthetics, so it’s perfect for less-active times in your life, such as attending fall barbecues or watching sporting events. Many people think down feels softer, warmer, cushier, and puffier than synthetics, and with good care, down can last a decade-plus. The Down Sweater Vest is a versatile option for people who go hiking or camping a few times a year but want that same vest as a lifestyle piece that will work in their wardrobe the rest of the year, too. It’s more expensive than our top pick, and not as functional in the outdoors or for toting. But it is durable, good-looking, and weatherproof enough to cover you on many adventures.”

The white color of the Anker Karapax Touch for the iPhone X is down to a new low price of $9. This is also the first price drop we’ve seen for this phone case, and it’s street price is $12. The Anker Karapax Touch is also available in black for $7 from $9, but we’ve posted a previous deal for the black at $6. We aren’t sure how long this deal will last so if you’ve been looking for a solid all purpose case for your iPhone X consider buying now.

The Anker Karapax Touch is the previous top pick all purpose case in our guide to the best iPhone X cases. Nick Guy wrote, “Anker’s Karapax Touch is one of the best basic cases we tested, and was our previous top pick. The single piece of TPU-like material fit the phone perfectly, provided a substantial amount of protection relative to its minimal thickness and weight, and didn’t affect how the buttons felt. It’s essentially a clone of the Incipio NGP, a case we’ve long liked and recommended, but with slightly better grip and less obtrusive branding for a lower price. The back of the case is a bit slicker than the Silk Base Grip, though; we think a little more grip is better for most people.”

At $20, this VR headset, which we recommend as a budget option for use within Google’s Carboard app system, is a nice bargain. The price is available for the white color only, and while it’s not a tremendous discount relative to what it usually costs, it is the lowest price we’ve seen for it.

The ETVR 3D Headset is our budget pick in our guide to the best VR headset for your phone. Signe Brewster wrote, “If you are looking for the cheapest possible VR experience, don’t have a phone that works with our top picks, or have an iPhone and are determined to buy a headset to go with it, the ETVR 3D VR headset is the best option out of the seven inexpensive headsets we tested, offering the best combination of low cost, comfort, and adjustability. The quality won’t blow your mind, but it’s good enough for a few experiences within Google’s Cardboard app ecosystem.”

If you’re a Sam’s Club member looking for a quality cookware set, plan on joining, or are willing to pay the 10% premium for non-members, this 14-piece stainless cookware set is an interesting opportunity for the right person to save. This set is called Member’s Mark, but is made by Tramontina, the maker of our top cookware set. It shares many of the same pieces with our cookware set and is the same tri-ply, aluminum core 18/10 magnetized stainless. The difference is in the number of pieces and the size of some included pieces. Most notably, this set includes an 8-quart stock pot rather than the 12-quart that comes with our set, the 12-quart being a major selling point for some. In addition, the Sam’s Club version includes an additional 8-inch fry pan and steamer basket and the smaller of the two included saucepans is 2-quart vs. the 1.5-quart our pick set includes. If those differences aren’t dealbreakers for you, you can save substantially vs. our pick, which costs $300 right now. Even after 10% is tacked on for non-members, this set would still cost $80 less than that set and for what you’re getting we’d value this set closer to $260.

The Member’s Mark by Tramontina Tri-Ply Clad 14-Piece Cookware Set is a 14-piece Sam’s Club brand variant (made by Tramontina) of our top pick in our guide to the best cookware set. Of the Tramontina set we recommend in our guide, Michael Sullivan wrote, “In our tests, the Tramontina skillets produced perfectly brown chicken pieces with nice fond development, while the saucepans and stockpot simmered liquids without scorching. We found the handles on both the cookware and the lids wide and comfortable to hold. Though this cookware discolored slightly over heat, the effect was common among all of the sets we tested in this price range. All of the cookware in this collection is dishwasher safe, induction compatible, and oven safe up to 500 degrees Fahrenheit.”

If you’re looking for a longer lightning cable that’s warrantied for life, the Anker PowerLine II is a nice option. Right now, if you use promo code ANKER434 in cart, you can get it for $11. As it’s usually $15, that’s a nice savings. The code can be applied to all four colors of the lightning cable and can also be used for multiple cables, so grab the color of your choice or stock up as you see fit.

The Anker Powerline II lightning cable is the longest version of our upgrade pick in our guide to the best lightning cable for iPhone and iPad. Nick Guy wrote, “If you’re concerned about cable longevity, spend a few dollars more and pick Anker’s PowerLine II Lightning cable. Our teardown revealed the interior construction to be the same as our pick’s, but Anker offers a lifetime warranty (compared with 18 months for the standard PowerLine) and claims the cable can withstand more than twice as many bends.”

If you’re in the market for a car stereo with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto compatibility, the JVC KW-M730BT is a great choice. Right now it’s available for just under $300, the lowest price we’ve seen for it. This car stereo was around $500 at the time of review and was $400 at many retailers until recent months. While the street price continues to fall, we haven’t seen it lower.

The JVC KW-M730BT is our runner-up pick in our guide to the best car stereos with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. Eric C. Evarts wrote, “The JVC KW-M730BT is a good alternative to the Sony XAV-AX100. It usually costs about the same but lets you listen to HD Radio stations and can connect to a SiriusXM receiver for satellite radio. Its slightly larger (6.8-inch) display is bright and clear, with huge, easy-to-use buttons. However, we didn’t like using the JVC as much as we did the Sony since it lacks Siri Eyes Free, has tiny buttons for volume control instead of an easy-to-grip knob, and has fewer station presets (20 versus 30).”

While we’ve seen this kit $1 lower, at $12 this is still a very good price for the First Aid Only First Aid Essentials Kit, especially if you’re planning on buying a few. Keeping a basic first aid kit as part of your outdoor gear is important, and this is a nice opportunity to pick one up at a discount while it lasts. As it’s usually $14, this is a solid drop.

The First Aid Only First Aid Essentials Kit is our budget pick in our best first aid guide for the hiking and outdoors guide. The First Aid Anna Perling wrote, “If you want a basic first aid kit for patching up minor cuts and scrapes, the First Aid Only First Aid Essentials Kit is a good choice. Its components are more cheaply made than those of our top pick, but that’s to be expected given the price (about a third of what the Backpacker Kit costs at the time of this writing). Still, the Essentials Kit has tons of bandage choices and adequate cleaning materials for patching up minor injuries, it’s small enough to fit in a daypack, and you’ll find your supplies easily in the clear, open pockets.”

Update: Still a members only deal, the Ecobee3 with 3 Room Sensors is now down to $180 with free shipping. Deal is good through Feb. 25, 2018 while supplies last.

The Ecobee3 with 3 Room Sensors is down to $200 from Costco for members only. The street price of this bundle is around $300 and the street price of the Ecobee3 with 1 Room Sensor is around $240 so this is a very nice discount if you already have a Costco membership. Shipping and handling on this product is free. The Ecobee3 is the former runner-up in our smart thermostat guide, the Ecobee4 was recently released with some upgrades and has replaced the 3 in our guide. If the Ecobee3 is a good fit for your home and you’re looking for a smart thermostat now would be a good time to grab this bundle.

The Ecobee3 is the former runner-up in our guide to the best smart thermostat. Jennifer Pattison Tuohy wrote, “The Ecobee3’s support for remote sensors makes it appealing if your thermostat isn’t in the best part of your house to measure the temperature. If you have a large, multistory house with a single-zone HVAC system, you can have big temperature differences between rooms. With Ecobee3’s add-on sensors (you get one with the unit and can add up to 32 more), the thermostat uses the sensors’ occupancy detectors to match the target temperature in occupied rooms, rather than just wherever the thermostat is installed. However, it doesn’t have the level of intelligence of the Nest, or that model’s retro cool look (which even the Honeywell Lyric takes a good stab at). Its black, rounded-rectangle design and touchscreen interface have a more modern feel, it looks a bit like someone mounted a smartphone app on your wall.”

Our pick

Down to $10 this is a solid deal on the Nordic Ware Baker’s Half Sheet. This cookie sheet is an Add-on item for Amazon Prime members and the street price is around $13. $10 isn’t the lowest price we’ve seen for the Nordic Ware Baker’s Half Sheet but it’s very close. If you can make an order of $25 and are interested in purchasing a cookie sheet, now would be a good time.

The Nordic Ware Baker’s Half Sheet is the top pick in our guide to the best cookie sheet. Christine Cyr Clisset wrote, “We chose the Nordic Ware Baker’s Half Sheet as our top cookie sheet in our original 2013 review, and after two years of heavy use we’ve found it still performs well. Some aluminum sheet pans may perform on a par with it, but the Nordic Ware offers the best performance for the price that we’ve found. It’s been one of the hardest-working pans in this tester’s home kitchen for two years, and despite some minor discoloration it’s as good as it was on the first day we used it.”

Our pick

Back down to $350, this matches the previous lowest price we’ve seen for the Whynter Elite ARC-122DHP. $350 is a regular deal for this portable air conditioner but it’s a very nice discount from it’s street price of $465. Although $465 is the street price we’ve also seen it selling for much more as well. Typically sales on the Whynter Elite ARC-122DHP will last for a few months at a time before jumping back up in price.

The Whynter Elite ARC-122DHP is the top pick in our guide to the best portable air conditioner. Liam McCabe and Tyler Wells Lynch wrote, “We think this dual-hose unit will cool a room faster than other portable ACs, using the least energy, even in extreme heat. It’s significantly smaller and lighter than its closest competitors, and it has a typical noise level, installation kit, and price. The Whynter Elite ARC-122DHP also has a built-in heater and a drain pump. However, portable air conditioners are fundamentally flawed, and in very hot weather they can struggle to do the job at all. If possible, use a window or wall AC instead—those models work better, cost less, and don’t take up as much space.”

The Cable Matters USB 3.1 Type-C Dual Slot Card Reader is down to $10 from $12. Although this isn’t a big discount this is a new low price for this SD card reader. Both the black and the white color are down to $10 and shipping is free with Amazon Prime. If you’re in the market for a card reader and only use SD and microSD cards this would be a good time to pick up our discount budget pick.

The Cable Matters USB 3.1 Type-C Dual Slot Card Reader is the budget pick in our guide to the best SD card readers. Justin Krajeski wrote, “The Cable Matters USB 3.1 Type-C Dual Slot Card Reader is the best option if you don’t need a CF card reader—it performed just as well as our top picks, and it’s cheaper, too. Though it doesn’t support CF cards, it has slots for both SD and microSD cards, and it can read two cards at once. (Though the Cable Matters loses much more speed than the Unitek when transferring data from both cards concurrently). It’s smaller and lighter than both of our top picks, and like the Unitek, the Cable Matters has an indicator light so you know when it’s in use. It comes with a one-year warranty.”

This Benefit They’re Real Mascara Duo includes a full-size .3-ounce and a travel size .14-ounce bottle of our runner-up mascara pick. That’s a $36 value for $24. Standard free shipping kicks in at orders over $50, but the free shipping order threshold is dropped to $35 with code: SALE35. Otherwise there’s a $6 flat rate shipping fee, bumping the price up to $30 for the order. Not terrible, but it’d be better to add on another item to hit the $35 minumum (or just buy 2 sets of mascara).

Benefit They’re Real Mascara is our runner-up pick in our guide to the best mascara. Katie M. Palmer wrote, “If you can’t find our pick, or you absolutely hate the idea of adding a makeup remover to your routine, Benefit They’re Real ($24) has a brush similar to Buxom Lash, with those same molded, separated bristles that are good at lengthening and separating lashes. They’re Real isn’t classified as waterproof, but it is quite water-resistant, leaving a shiny, slightly brittle finish that stayed in place better than other non-waterproof mascaras. And while makeup remover is helpful to get it off, it isn’t necessary. However, it didn’t provide as much staying power as our waterproof top pick, Buxom Lash.”

Update: Now on clearance in camo and down to $90, stock is limited so its hard to say how long this will last.

If you’re in the market for a tent for backyard or festival use, this is a great discount on the understated camo print pattern of the Kelty Discovery 4, our budget pick in our two person car-camping tent guide. Usually $150, it’s down to $105, a tremendous discount. Shipping is free.

The Kelty Discovery 4 is our budget pick in our guide to the best car-camping tents for two people. Kit Dillon wrote, “For this guide, we tested five tents below $150. These inexpensive tents have fiberglass or plastic poles instead of aluminum ones to keep their costs down, but during testing, only the Kelty Discovery 4, with its thicker-diameter poles, held up during a windstorm without too much effort. Some of the other inexpensive models, like the AmazonBasics tent, seemed ready to tip over at a strong sneeze. So though the Discovery didn’t feel as sturdy as any of our other picks, it felt stable enough to sleep inside without worrying about the tent collapsing. The Discovery is the second-most-private tent we tested, too, and it’s inexpensive and unassuming enough that it won’t attract too much attention, even if you leave it unattended during an event. Unfortunately, the Discovery 4 doesn’t have a dedicated footprint.”

At $6, this is a nice deal on the black color of our drugstore eyeliner pick. Usually around $8, this is a nice opportunity to pick it up at a discount. This price is available without subscribe and save, though that drops the price even lower, so be sure to deselect it unless you’re looking to make this a recurring order. Shipping is free with Prime or a qualifying purchase over $25.

The Loreal Paris Extra-Intense Liquid Pencil Eyeliner is our eyeliner pick in our guide to the best drugstore makeup, hair, and skincare products. The Wirecutter Staff wrote, “For pencil eyeliner, we found the best one overall that had staying power yet was also soft and pigmented was a higher-end liner, Stila Stay All Day Waterproof. However, L’Oreal Paris Extra-Intense Liquid Pencil Eyeliner is a great drugstore option. It’s a sharpenable pencil with a very soft, dark core that glides on easily, smudges beautifully, and sets to a finish that won’t move around as much as the competition. If we had any quibbles about it versus our main pick, it would be that the pencil is so soft as to be a little hard to control; a light touch helps.”

At $20, this under sink caddy isn’t technically on sale, but if you don’t have a Container Store near you or another store near you that carries it, you’re effectively saving yourself $10 when you use coupon code SORRY. That code, used in cart, results in free shipping right now at the Container Store, so if you’re looking for items carried by The Container Store and don’t want to have to make the $75 free shipping minimum, you can use it and save.

The Umbra Hide ‘n’ Sink Under Sink Caddy is our hair-dryer storage pick in our guide full of small bathroom ideas. Alex Arpaia wrote, “The Umbra Hide ‘n’ Sink Under Sink Caddy slips right over the door of a vanity cabinet, leaving floor space free to store other items. We liked the Umbra as an alternative to below-sink drawers because it has a unique slot designed for storing a hair dryer, something that none of the other bathroom accessories we looked at were explicitly designed to do. The Umbra is also a good solution for storing sponges or other cleaning supplies that you might ordinarily keep below the sink if you don’t have quite enough space to accommodate drawers. While the Umbra receives good user reviews (4.1 stars over 55 reviews), some people did complain that their taller bottles and containers fell out of the caddy.”

Down to $10, this is the lowest price we’ve seen on the CIA Masters Collection Cooling Rack. Street price of this cooling rack is around $13 but we saw it at $15 for a few months at the beginning of 2017. There have been some stock issues with this cooling rack throughout the year but it’s in stock right now for a new low price and free shipping with Amazon Prime.

The CIA Masters Collection Cooling Rack is our cookie cooling rack pick in our guide the best holiday cookie backing equipment and gear. The Wirecutter Staff wrote, “After testing several cooking racks, we concluded that the 12-by-17-inch CIA Masters Collection Cooling Rack has just about everything we look for. It’s one of the few we’ve found that’s oven-safe and designed to fit well in a half-sheet baking pan. It’s sturdier than other racks we’ve looked at, and its tight grid pattern (as opposed to parallel wires) won’t let cookies bend or fall through. We also like that it has a third set of feet that run down the middle, bracing the center of the rack. Should you ever want to use the rack for something heavier, like a roast, or even some cakes, the third set of feet will prevent the rack from buckling in the middle.”

Our pick

If you’re in a part of the country that sees regular snow, you know how important a good shovel can be, but for those that might be getting snow for the first time in a while or just need a quality replacement shovel, the True Temper 18-Inch Ergonomic Mountain Mover is a great option. It’s seen stock issues at the regular retail price via online retailers and many third party sellers are selling it closer to $35 (with shipping costs included) and shipping it by mid-January. If you truly need a shovel, you likely need it right away. This is a solid deal with store pickup for it at Home Depot, and it’s readily available in many areas.

The True Temper 18-Inch Ergonomic Mountain Mover is our top pick in our guide to the best snow shovel. Doug Mahoney wrote, “The True Temper 18-Inch Ergonomic Mountain Mover has a sturdy, lightweight aluminum shaft that gloved hands can grip anywhere. Its 18-inch-wide plastic scoop is neither overly large and awkward nor too small and inefficient. The shovel has a curved shaft, an unusual design that makes moving snow easier, as it means you have to put less work into each swing. The nylon leading edge of the scoop won’t gouge your deck or catch on your brick patio. Plus, the shovel is built to last—I’ve had mine for eight New England winters, and it still works fine.”

Our pick

If you’re in the market for a soundbar system that delivers true surround sound, there aren’t many options under $200. In fact, many standalone soundbars themselves, without subs or additional speakers, cost that much. This system, usually $250, is now available for an excellent $180 price at a few warehouse club locations. The good news: you don’t have to be a member to get the price, you just need to create a Costco online account. This price is valid through 2/25 or while stock lasts.

The Vizio SB3651-E6 5.1 Soundbar System is our top pick in our guide to the best budget soundbar with sub. Dennis Burger wrote, “…the SB3651-E6 5.1 delivers the best balance of performance, connectivity, and value. Its center channel, wireless subwoofer, and detachable surround speakers (which plug into the sub) deliver balanced, room-filling sound that beats anything in this price range. It sounds great in stereo mode and offers true surround sound for movies and TV, which most other soundbars can only digitally imitate. It also supports Google Chromecast and Bluetooth for streaming music from mobile devices. However, the Vizio notably does not support HDMI 2.0, which can be a problem if you plan to use external 4K sources.”

While this isn’t a huge discount at around $3 off, this is the lowest price we’ve seen on our UHS-II speed supporting SD card reader pick, the Verbatim USB-C Pocket Card Reader. This is the first real drop we’ve seen for it, so we can’t say how long it will last. Regardless, if you’re looking for high data transfer rates via USB-C at a fair price, this reader is a nice bargain right now.

The Verbatim USB-C Pocket Card Reader is our faster SD cards pick in our guide to the best SD card readers. Justin Krajeski wrote, “If you use a camera or cards that support faster UHS-II speeds, the Verbatim USB-C Pocket Card Reader is the reader you should buy. The Verbatim’s SD and microSD slots performed reliably and speedily—around 2.5 times faster than our top pick in our SD card read and write tests—and it has a slimmer design than most of the competition. Because of its very short cord, there’s no way to lay the device completely flat during data transfer, although you can neatly store the cord underneath the bottom of the reader when it’s not in use. It also lacks a CF slot and the handy indicator light that most of our other picks have. It comes with a one-year warranty.”

Whether you’re someone who bakes at home or you are just seeking a bread knife for occasional use, the price is right for the Mercer Millennia 10-inch Bread Knife – Wide. At $13, it’s $6 less than the typical street price of $19 and less than 1/3 of the cost of our top bread knife pick. It also matches the low price we’ve seen for it, so don’t hesitate to pick one up while this price lasts.

The Mercer Millenia (Wide) 10-Inch Bread Knife is our runner-up pick in our guide to the best serrated bread knife. Lesley Stockton wrote, “If you want to spend less, we recommend the Mercer Millennia 10-inch Bread Knife – Wide for its price and maneuverability. Though the blade is thicker than the Victorinox’s and offers a little less control due to its large, pronounced teeth, it’s still a good value so long as it’s about half the price of our top pick. If you aren’t looking to make wafer-thin, even slices of bread and vegetables, and you just want a good workhorse in the kitchen, this is the knife for you.”

This is a solid drop in price on a Thunderbolt 2 station we like from our Thunderbolt dock guide. We rarely see deals on this Thunderbolt dock anymore, and this is the lowest price we’ve ever seen this dock go. It’s still a pretty expensive option, but if you need a Thunderbolt 2 dock with eSata capabilities, this is a great deal.

The CalDigit Thunderbolt Station 2 is a Thunderbolt 2 dock we like in our guide to the best Thunderbolt 3 and 2 docks. Nick Guy wrote, “CalDigit’s Thunderbolt Station 2 performed well in our tests overall. (It has the slowest average Thunderbolt write speeds, but the difference is small enough that it shouldn’t determine your buying decision.) On the other hand, it has fewer USB ports than our top pick, and though it packs eSATA, we don’t find that connection to be important for most people. We do like the size and shape of this one: Unlike most Thunderbolt 2 docks, this one stands vertically, so it takes up less space on a desk.”

If you’re looking for a Nikon wide-angle lens at a solid price, you’re in luck. The Sigma 10-20mm F3.5 EX DC HSM is our wide angle lens pick in our Nikon lens guide, and at $400, this matches the lowest price we’ve seen for it. It’s usually $450, and bounced back up to $450 after the last deal, so pick one up while this deal lasts.

The Sigma 10-20mm F3.5 EX DC HSM Lens is our landscapes and tight spaces pick in our guide to the first Nikon lenses to buy. Amadou Diallo wrote, “Photographing in small spaces means there’s only so much room for you to back up. That’s where a wide-angle lens is worth its weight in gold. It’s also great for shooting architecture and dramatic landscapes—or making the inside of a small apartment look bigger. The wide-angle zoom we recommend is the Sigma 10–20mm F3.5 EX DC HSM. This APS-C-only lens has 15–30mm-equivalent zoom, a fixed f/3.5 aperture, and solid metal construction, and it delivers sharp images.”

Our pick

The stone color of this recommended dog bed is nicely discounted in 3 different sizes. The 24-inch, usually around $40, is down to $28. The 32-inch, usually $45, is down to $36. The 40-inch, usually $60, is down to $47. All are good deals and match the pricing we saw during Black Friday/Cyber Monday.

The Majestic Pet Products Suede Bagel Dog Bed is our top pick in our guide to the best dog beds. Nick Guy wrote, “The Majestic Pet Products Suede Bagel Dog Bed is a “cuddler”-style bed, a large padded mattress with raised bolsters around the perimeter that give your dog a place to lay its head—the bed looks like a big, fluffy dumpling. Its microsuede exterior feels as durable as the materials we encountered on beds costing several times as much. It’s also easy to machine-wash on the gentle cycle. You can put the versions for smaller dogs in the wash in one piece, and though you have to remove the stuffing to wash the larger sizes, we found that task (as well as to put the stuffing back in place afterward) easier to do than on most models we tested—the difficulty was a dealbreaker for many other beds.”
